Governor Whitmer has signed an executive order, prohibiting events or gatherings, with over 50 people, effective at 9am this morning.
This executive order is more in line with suggestions from the CDC.
A previous executive order, temporarily prohibiting gatherings of more than 250 people, will be rescinded, once the latest order takes effect.
The new executive order is set to expire April 5th, but could be extended, based on the latest COVID-19 statistics.
Governor Whitmer stated “My Number one priority remains to protect the most people we can from the spread of Coronavirus. We are all better off when all of us are healthy, and that is especially true for the most vulnerable. These aggressive actions are aimed at saving lives. My administration will continue to do everything we can to mitigate the spread of the disease and ensure our children, families and businesses have the support they need during these challenging times. We are going to pull through this together, just as Michigan has done in the past.”
