Shelter in Place
On Monday, March 23, 2020, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer issued a “stay home” order to try to slow the spread of the coronavirus, ordering Michigan residents to stay at home except for essential purposes and telling non-essential businesses to stop asking employees to report to work. Though sweeping, it includes exemptions for essentials such as:
- Shopping for food or medicine
- Getting needed medical treatment
- Getting fuel
- Walking a pet
- Walking for exercise
- Staffing to allow maintenance of “minimum basic operations” for many employers

Preventative Measures
The best prevention for viruses, such as influenza, the common cold or COVID-19:
PLEASE, STAY AT HOME! SHELTER IN PLACE!
If you think you have been exposed to COVID-19, call your health care provider. If you do not have a health care provider, call the nearest hospital.
- Wash your hands often with soap and warm water for 20 seconds. If not available, use hand sanitizer.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth with unwashed hands.
- Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or upper sleeve when coughing or sneezing.
- Avoid contact with people who are sick.
- If you are sick, stay home, and avoid contact with others.
- Practice “social distancing”. Stay at least 6 feet away from others when in a public setting.
