Gov. Whitmer/MDHHS on COVID Update: 1 Year Later

WCMU Public Radio

One year after Michigan detected its first COVID-19 infection, the virus still controls policy in the state.

Governor Whitmer acknowledged how life has changed during the pandemic, and how getting vaccinated is the path forward.

With three safe, effective vaccines, and more on the way, we're gonna get through this together, Michigan will continue following the science, leading with data and listening to the experts as we make decisions on further reengagement.”

The number of COVID cases and hospitalizations have risen since the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services increased capacity at restaurants, shops and entertainment venues.
