'I want to be very clear,' Governor Whitmer said in a Thursday news briefing. 'COVID-19 is still present in Michigan.'
Michigan health officials reported 93 deaths Thursday, the second-highest death toll in the state since Saturday. However, the number of confirmed positive cases went down in number. Although 592 positive cases were reported Thursday, that represents a decrease over Wednesday's number of 592 cases of the virus.
Governor Gretchen Whitmer said Thursday that although Michigan has been able to flatten the curve with mitigation and social distancing protocols, the virus had not left the state. Michigan health officials reported 93 coronavirus-related fatalities in the state on Thursday, the highest death rate in the state in five days.Whitmer announced the extension of both Michigan's stay-at-home order and declaration of a state of emergency during Thursday's news briefing. However, Whitmer also said that workers in the manufacturing industry could return to work on Monday. That includes employees of automobile manufacturers.
Although social distancing is to be continued, as well as the wearing of face masks in enclosed public areas, the growth of new coronavirus cases is on the decline.
