As the number of Covid-19 cases drops in Michigan, Spectrum Health says it's lowered its command center level from red to yellow.

“After 83 days since mid-November, we've been in red status and after 83 days officially as of today we are going to Yellow status. Spectrum Health West Michigan President Dr. Darryl Elmouchi said.  “That means that our operations while they're still interrupted, meaning we still have staffing shortages, a lot of patients with covid and so forth, things are definitely getting better.”

Doctors still say that we're not out of the woods yet.

Senior vice president of hospital operations, Chad Tuttle, says a few weeks ago upwards of 35% of all their patients were being affected by COVID -19 and today that number is closer to 20%, giving them a little breathing room inside their hospitals.

He says visitor policies will become a little less restrictive
