Governor Gretchen Whitmer issues Executive Order to Stay At Home

Marquette, MI – (03/23/20) – In response to the continuing spread of COVID-19 in Michigan, Governor Gretchen Whitmer has signed an executive order for all residents to shelter in place. The order also directs businesses and operations to temporarily suspend in-person operations that are not necessary to sustain or protect life.

LISTEN – Some highlights of the order from Governor Whitmer from a press conference earlier today in Lansing.

The order directs Michiganders to stay in their homes unless they’re a part of that critical infrastructure workforce, engaged in an outdoor activity, or performing tasks necessary to the health and safety of themselves or their family, like going to the hospital or grocery store.

Effective at 12:01 am on March 24, 2020, for at least the next three weeks, individuals may only leave their home or place of residence under very limited circumstances, and they must adhere to social distancing measures recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention when they do so, including remaining at least six feet from people from outside the individual’s household to the extent feasible under the circumstances.
