New reports indicate Michigan’s nursing home death toll may be higher than previously reported. Critics are calling for an audit into the true number of nursing home deaths Michigan saw during the COVID-19 pandemic after a report indicated some facilities may have been undercounted.
Until this week, more than 5,600 nursing home deaths had attributed to the virus accounting for more than 30 percent of deaths statewide. Yet, now a report from the Mackinac Center for Public Policy indicates the true figure could be closer to 9,000.
