LANSING, Mich. - Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer is expected to announce another extension on her stay-at-home order Friday during a press conference.
Making the call at 11 a.m. from the state capital, Whitmer's second prolonging of the order will extend until May 15. It's likely the governor's order, which has drawn increased scrutiny from residents and lawmakers alike, will only attract more criticism from opponents to one of the country's most restricted shelter-in-place orders. You can watch the press conference live on our website or on our Facebook. It is scheduled for 11 a.m.
Additionally, it's also likely the governor will reopen some businesses at the beginning of May - prioritizing those that have limited contact with the general population. Landscapers, lawn-service companies, plant nurseries, and bike repair shops can resume operating, subject to social-distancing rules. Stores selling nonessential supplies can reopen for curbside pickup and delivery. Big-box retailers no longer have to close off garden centers and areas dedicated to selling paint, flooring, and carpet.
