Whitmer urges virtual school classes, no youth sports for two weeks
Lansing — Gov. Gretchen Whitmer is strongly urging Michigan's high schools to suspend in-person classes and youth sports for two weeks as well as asking diners to avoid eating at restaurant indoors for the same period to combat a surge in cases and hospitalizations.
"We all need to go above and beyond the rules that are already in place," she said.
The governor also asked people to avoid indoor gatherings in general and pushed for more people to get the vaccine. But Whitmer avoided having her state health department director issue new epidemic orders to require the actions.
