Confirmed coronavirus cases jump to 334 in Michigan with increase of private testing
 
The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services announced Thursday that the total number of confirmed coronavirus cases in the state jumped to 334.

As cases increased in the state, Attorney General Dana Nessel disclosed that a state tipline for price-gouging reports has received more than 800 tips.
