The governor’s office held a call with business leaders this morning about the impending executive order. It’s expected to garner support from the business community.

Over the weekend, Michigan hit more than 1,000 confirmed cases of coronavirus, a highly contagious virus that has caused deaths in Michigan and across the globe.

The governor in recent weeks has banned gatherings of over 50 people, closed K-12 school buildings and ordered bars, restaurants and gyms closed to in-person customers. Over the weekend she also further restricted some business, shutting down tattoo parlors, salons and barbershops.

Other states, including Ohio, Illinois and California have ordered residents to stay at home with exceptions for essential trips.

PREVENTION TIPS

In addition to washing hands regularly and not touching your face, officials recommend practicing social distancing, assuming anyone may be carrying the virus. Health officials say you should be staying at least 6 feet away from others and working from home, if possible. Carry hand sanitizer with you, and use disinfecting wipes or disinfecting spray cleaners on frequently-touched surfaces in your home ( door handles, faucets, countertops ) and when you go into places like stores.
