<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#555555">"Michigan has the third highest number of COVID-19 cases in the country, and we're still on the upswing. We must continue to do everything we can to slow the spread and protect our
families," Ms. Whitmer said in a statement. "Data shows that most Michiganders are doing their part by staying home and staying safe. That's good, but we must keep it up. When we do, we can save lives and shorten the amount of time we're working through this
crisis, which will be good for our families and good for our economy in the long-run. We can also protect critical infrastructure workers like doctors, nurses, grocery store employees, and child care workers. Now more than ever, it's crucial that people stay
home and stay safe."<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#555555">Large stores must also now limit the number of people in the store to four customers for every 1,000 square feet of customer floor space. Smaller stores must limit capacity to 25
percent of the fire code occupancy limit. Stores must also establish markings to regulate entry so that customers are at least six feet apart while waiting. And large stores must close areas dedicated to carpeting, flooring, furniture, garden centers, plant
nurseries or paint.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#555555">Ms. Whitmer will address the situation at a 3 p.m. briefing to be broadcast via the Department of State Police's social media accounts.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#555555">"This doesn't mean everything will go back to normal on May 1," Ms. Whitmer said. "But based on the data we have right now, this is the appropriate window for an extension. It will
take time to safely and responsibly re-open the economy, which is why we will continue to provide critical unemployment support and assistance to our small businesses during this challenging time. We will get through this if we all continue to do our part."<o:p></o:p></span></p>
