SOUTHFIELD, Mich. (FOX 2) - On Saturday, June 5, 2021, Michigan reported 388 cases of COVID-19, the lowest daily total recorded this year.

This brings the total to 890,345 cases and 19,365 deaths.

While the growth of the state's vaccine coverage has slowed down considerably in recent weeks, Michigan is nearing its second original vaccine benchmark prior to the state amending the Mi Vacc to Normal plan.

Currently, 59.4% of the state (or about 4.8 million) have received their first shot of the vaccine.

Some COVID restrictions lifted

The curfew on bars and restaurants was lifted June 1. Also, all outdoor capacity limits were lifted.

The remaining COVID restrictions in Michigan are set to end July 1.

Where to get a COVID-19 vaccine near you

There are currently three different vaccines that have been approved by the FDA: Pfizer, Moderna, and Johnson & Johnson. The three vaccines do not guarantee you won't be sick but all three have high efficacy rates in preventing serious illness and decrease the chances of hospitalization if you do get ill with COVID-19.

Simply putting your name on the county list is one way to get a vaccine, eventually, but there are ways you can be proactive to find a vaccine faster.

Contact tracing

Michigan officials are also urging people to download the MI COVID Alert app to help notify of possible exposure and with contact tracing.

Authorities are still urging everyone to answer their phones if you get a call from the health department. Text messages are also now being sent in advance of the incoming call.

Meanwhile, everyone is also still reminded to keep doing the basics to stay healthy - wear a mask, wash your hands and keep your distance from other people.
