DETROIT, MI (AP)-- A major Detroit-area health care provider is reporting another drop in COVID-19 patients.
Henry Ford Health System said Thursday it has 617 patients with the coronavirus, the lowest number since April 1. The company cautions that the crisis is far from over, but says it’s encouraged enough to start scheduling surgeries unrelated to the coronavirus. It's also suspending plans for extra space for COVID-19 patients.
Meanwhile, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer said the state’s revenues could drop by $7 billion over the next 18 months. She urged President Donald Trump to work with Congress to send more federal aid to states and local governments.
