LANSING, Mich. (WOOD) — Gov. Gretchen Whitmer provided an update Monday morning on Michigan’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Thelatest numbersreleased Sunday showed the total confirmed cases of COVID-19 at 5,486 with 132 deaths.
“We know this number is going to continue to go up,” Whitmer said Monday. “When you see those numbers rise, don’t think that it means your participation — your staying at home — isn’t having an impact.”
“No one is immune to disease,” said Michigan Department of Health and Human Services Chief Medical Executive Dr. Joneigh Khaldun. “Kids should not be outside playing with their neighbors, people should not be playing in parks. This is not the time to have extended family gathers, people must stay home. If we do the right thing, and we do it now, we will be able to save lives.”
