That's up 3,082 cases and 173 deaths from the day before. The deaths announced Tuesday includes 72 deaths identified during a Vital Records review.

Entertainment venues were able to open back up in metro Detroit at midnight Monday morning after a partial shutdown that lasted just over a month.

Indoor dining does remain halted through at least Jan. 15, under the latest order.
