Traveling to another home within Michigan, even to visit friends or relatives, or to go to a vacation home, is now banned under Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s coronavirus stay-at-home order, which has been extended until May 1.
“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,” Whitmer said in a statement, according to Detroit's WXYZ-TV.
Some exceptions to the order -- which takes effect Saturday -- are caring for a relative or their pet, a child, an elderly or disabled person, visiting someone in a health care facility, or attending a funeral with fewer than 10 people.
“All public and private gatherings of any size are prohibited. People can still leave the house for outdoor activities…recreational activities are still permitted as long as they’re taking place outside of six feet from anyone else,” Whitmer said in a news conference, according to the Detroit Free Press.
Residents may visit a home outside of the state or return to Michigan from another state or drive to a Michigan state park, the Free Press reported.
“All other travel is prohibited, including all travel to vacation rentals,” the order says, according to WXYZ.

There comes a point when say “F the governor, I’m a free man and I’ll act like one”
Will Minneapolis-St.Paul eventually see an outbreak like Detroit?
There is a march on Lansing planned for the 15th. Planned before this latest insane order -
Dear Patroits,
We are all concerned for those afflicted with COVID 19. Yes, many of the personal behaviors we have been reminded to use are good practices. Wash your hands. Cover your cough. Stay home if you are sick.
That said, Michiganders are fed up!
Our Governor and her allies are infecting ALL of us with their radical, progressive agenda. There is NO reasoned and public plan to promote our overall physical and economic health!
Dope stores? Open. Abortion clinics? Open. Churches? Shut down. Local businesses? Going broke!
Many have asked us: “What should I do? I will go bankrupt if this continues.”
Here is the brutal truth. Calling your elected Representative, your elected Senator or even the Capitol won’t do a THING. Why? Those offices are all shut down. Plus the electeds have clearly “signaled” that they will do NOTHING to oppose this Governor’s tyranny.
To “redress our grievances” citizens are reduced to doing one thing: TAKE ACTION IN LANSING.
People always say: “Conservatives never protest because they are too busy working.”
Well, guess what. You’re not working— so it’s time to PROTEST.
Everyone, every citizen, every business owner needs to get out of their house, out of their chair and get in their car, or truck, or anything that is legal to drive on taxpayer funded roads. Then drive to Lansing to circle the Michigan Capitol Building at 100 N. Capitol Avenue at noon on April 15.
Come prepared for a traffic jam in Lansing!
Whitmer wants Michigan to be in gridlock. We plan to give her a gridlock in Lansing!
Stay in your vehicle as the “Whitmer police” will likely be out to enforce social distancing. That said we need to display our flags, take signs, make noise and make our unhappiness known!
While pushing her progressive agenda, our radical Governor has announced no plan of any kind to restart the economy. Of course, neither has the Legislature! Citizens can use Operation Gridlock to let Lansing know that citizens are FED UP and expect better.
To start, our radical Governor needs to treat us like adults (a/k/a taxpayers who fund her JOB) who are aware that we need to take steps to stay healthy. Apparently, she missed that being healthy INCLUDES having a JOB, opening your business SOON and keeping our Constitutional rights.
There is much to do, but let’s start in Lansing at noon on April 15. See you there!
Share this email with your FED UP friends, family, co-workers and neighbors. Let us know on our Facebook page that you’ll attend. Or follow us on InstaGram at mi_conservative_coalition

I wish them well and success.
If if produces results, expect more of the silent majority to repeat. Often enough to get the message across to the comrade governors and mayors. In a sane world.
In a sane world, those people wouldn’t exist.

“Michigan has the third-highest number of COVID-19 cases in the country”
No, Detroit does.
They got what they voted for — a woman who is out of control.
No kidding!! I am SHOCKED at how EASY it has been for these Governors and Mayors to CONTROL OUR EVERY MOVE!
Give them an inch,.........
Good luck with this.
I hope it inspires similar efforts in other states.
It’s about time we let the despots know we’re fed up with their Bravo Sierra.
From the stories I’ve read about her, this governor’s performance has been rather pathetic. Didn’t she too oppose using the hydroxychloroquine drug, only do an about face when it was showed in numerous instances to be an effective way to combat the virus?
Ridiculous. No governor has that power.
Good luck!
She gets harsher every day; I guess being welded into your house is next.
I don’t see how it’s legally possible to ban visits to family, etc. But then, I would never have thought most of the things these governors are doing would be legally possible, and I certainly never thought people would stand for them for so long.
Next up husband’s banished to doghouse.
Cuz they’re out in gangs raiding every store in sight.
So the people of Michigan are actually listening to this wack-job Governor?
Wow ! Michigan sure got a LOSER of a governor ! Dangerous too Very dangerous
Michiganders have to toss this deranged governor at the earliest possible moment. Whitmer has been conducting herself like a power mad dictator suffering from an advanced case of Trump Derangement Syndrome.
Crotchen Wit-less, dictater wannabe. I will go where i choose, when i want.
