Governor Gretchen Whitmer is again expanding the number of people who can get tested for Covid-19.

In a news conference Tuesday she said anyone who leaves home to go to work is eligible for testing...plus…

“Anyone who has symptoms of COVID-19 – even mild symptoms – may receive a test at a community testing location without securing a doctor’s order in advance.”

Whitmer also signed an executive order allowing nurses, physician’s assistants and pharmacists to order Covid-19 tests.
