The “Covid-19 Event Risk Assessment Planning Tool” has a toggle for referencing the size of your upcoming gathering, and the interactive map provides county-by-county data on the estimated chance (0-100%) that at least 1 COVID-19 positive individual will be in attendance.
For example, the map shows that a gathering of 15 people in Oakland County currently holds a risk factor of 27 percent; Macomb County, 33 percent; and Wayne County, 21 percent. The more people in attendance, of course, the larger the risk grows.
