Detroit surpasses 1,800 cases, 50 deaths from COVID-19 outbreak
Detroit — Mayor Mike Duggan on Monday will update the press on the city's response to the coronavirus as cases here continue to climb.
As of noon Monday, Detroit's Health Department recorded 1,804 positive cases of COVID-19 in the city and 50 deaths.
The city last week designated the old State Fairgrounds as a regional coronavirus testing site and Gov. Gretchen Whitmer announced Sunday that the TCF Center downtown will get 900 hospital beds from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for potential hospital overflow patients during the pandemic.
The city, in a news release, said the mayor would provide a "significant update" on the Detroit Police Department's quarantine numbers. On Friday, close to 500 members of the police force had been under quarantine, including Police Chief James Craig, who is confirmed to have the virus.
