Gov. Whitmer extends stay-at-home order to May 28, reopens manufacturing

Source: Michigan Radio

Governor Gretchen Whitmer has signed an executive order extending Michigan's stay-at-home order to May 28. It was previously set to expire after May 15.

Under this order, Michigan residents will not be able to leave their homes except for essential reasons, such as picking up food or medical supplies, outdoor activities, a medical emergency, or to go to specified jobs.

Whitmer also announced that Michigan is in Phase 3 of her new MI Safe Start Plan to re-engage Michigan's economy. The phases of that plan are as follows:

UNCONTROLLED GROWTH: The increasing number of new cases every day, overwhelming our health systems.
PERSISTENT SPREAD: We continue to see high case levels with concern about health system capacity.
FLATTENING: The epidemic is no longer increasing and the health-system's capacity is sufficient for current needs.
IMPROVING: Cases, hospitalizations and deaths are clearly declining.
CONTAINING: Continued case and death rate improvements, with outbreaks quickly contained.
POST-PANDEMIC: Community spread not expected to return.

Employees who do not feel comfortable with returning to the workplace cannot be punished for doing so.
