Later Tuesday, Oakland County and Wayne County each reported one additional death and several more confirmed cases, which would bring the state total of more than 1,800 cases and 26 deaths. Those numbers were not immediately cofirmed by the state, which releases the official count at around 2 p.m. each day.

This comes with a "Stay Home, Stay Safe" executive order by Gov. Gretchen Whitmer now in effect statewide. The goal of the order, Whitmer said, is to slow the spread of the virus. The order — which runs until April 13, 2020 at 11:59 p.m. — bans gatherings of people not part of the same household. It also shuts down all non-essential businesses, although grocery stores, convenience stores, pharmacies and banks remain open to the public. GET DETAILS HERE.
