The Senate rejected an amendment for a 70-day resolution. This would have granted Governor Gretchen Whitmer greater executive authority during this crisis.
On Monday, Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and MDHHS Chief Medical Executive Dr. Joneigh Khaldun said the state would start releasing the number of people who have recovered from the virus. We will update this story with that number when it is out.
Whitmer also said that several hospitals in Michigan were just days away from running out of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) which includes masks, face shields, gowns and gloves.
More shipments from FEMA are expected, including 1 million N95 masks coming to Wayne, Oakland and Macomb counties this week.
