Live at 11 a.m. today: Michigan Gov. Whitmer to provide COVID-19 update
Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer is expected to provide a coronavirus (COVID-19) update Friday afternoon.
Earlier this week, Whitmer said it’s likely the state will need a short-term extension of the stay-home order, which expires on April 30. She said she’s working on plans to reopen the state in phases, and will offer details as soon as Friday. She didn’t offer a timeframe or extension length.
Several other states have already extended stay-home measures into May, including Connecticut (May 20), Delaware (May 15), California, New York (May 15), Vermont (May 15), Virginia (June 10) and Wisconsin (May 26).
