GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — During a Thursday briefing, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer again called on the Republican-led Legislature to pass a law requiring masks in public.
Whitmer referenced Michigan’s “record number of COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations" as the catalyst for her request.
During her briefing Thursday, Whitmer stressed, “At this moment, mask wearing could not be more critical."
Whitmer added, “We’ve got to get the politics out of this simple act of masking up,” Whitmer said. “This remains the best implement we have to keep spread down.”
