WCMU Morning News Roundup - April 20, 2020

In today's Morning News Roundup, we hear from Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, who says her "Stay Home, Stay Safe" executive order appears to be working. But we'll also hear how some elected officials are encouraging the governor to loosen social distancing restrictions around Michigan.

Also this morning, Munson Healthcare is set to begin using plasma from recovered COVID-19 patients to treat severe cases of the illness. And Michigan is expanding it's Coronavirus testing capacity, and is encouraging people with more mild cases to get tested. 

Mike Horace is WCMU's Radio Program and Operations Manager.
