LANSING, MI (MPRN)-- Governor Gretchen Whitmer announced Michiganders may need to stay home a little longer, after the state’s stay-at-home order expires at the end of the month.
In a Wednesday briefing, Governor Whitmer said there will likely be a short-term extension of the stay-at-home order in Michigan.
“There will be some kind of a stay at home order in effect for a long-time here. And I know when I say that, people will speculate ‘What does that mean?’ And what it simply means is that for the near future we know that it’s not going to be safe for especially the vulnerable population to be out and about publicly.”
Last week, frustrations with the Governor’s stay-at-home order drew several thousand people to protest at the capitol. The Governor did not specify how long she expects the extension to go on, or if the extension would affect the whole state.
Whitmer said she would reveal more on Friday.
