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.

If we let it.
I’m in NYC.
Gonna visit mom and sister and a gal friend in brooklyn, like I have been.
The constitution dies if we act like faggots.
It also dies if one putz like me does it and everyone else stays home :)
Half-wit is a full on joke. Immigration laws also have a public safety component, yet being the rat she is, she supports flouting immigration laws. Now she is supposed to care about public safety?
She by her very actions has proven her top concern is political power, her ban on life saving drugs, was merely an attempt to hurt President Trump.
How long before she closes the Mackinac Bridge and kills off the Upper Peninsula?She and theDemocrats want to kill the auto industry because of global warming. She must be part of the Learn to Code Movement.
What a self centered tyrant!!!!
This is from the SAME PROVEN-half-wit who prevented her
taxpayers from access to the working cure of the pandemic
Poor Michigan people are led by Half-Wit and RomneyCARE
to their own —chosen— destruction.
So... all communication must be by intwrnet or phone where it can be monitored?
If you think these actions are unprecedented, unconstitutional, or extreme, try doing some research on the actions taken during the 1918 pandemic.
WE are high risk Seniors, not seen our 2 year old granddaughter in 3 weeks, we chose to do so. We can’t control what her parents do, but we will not risk her, she is to precious to us, nearly lost her at birth. Supposed to be a women’s birthing center was a piece of crap care, her fetal heart rate flat lined, no staff cared, mom developed high fever from their drugs, ended up C-Section, took the OB a hr to get there. Longer till the mom was prepped for surgery.
Probably not.. many of us think china flu blew through here back in December/January.
Free men don’t require government permission.
Just in time for Easter.
Scratch a liberal and you find a murderous totalitarian underneath.

When the pandemic is over these measures will be permanently codified...if democrats have their way.
Only because their street muscle...the police..are willing to enforce it. And of course they are.
“How long before she closes the Mackinac Bridge and kills off the Upper Peninsula?”
Upers should cut themselves off and become a separate state. I don’t see those Finns up around Porcupine Mountains putting up with this crap.
It will bring a mark of everlasting infamy on the present generation – enlightened as it is – if we should suffer them to be wrested from us by violence without a struggle, or to be cheated out of them by the artifices of designing men.”

Police follow orders as they have in every country.
Our unionized, government police are loyal only to their good pay and benefits and pensions.
Police are not loyal to God, to us or to COTUS (as evidenced at the MS church).
Female Democrat politicians are giving intelligent women a very bad name.
Maybe there should be a great many backyard campfires, surrounded by a peaceable gathering of men with slung rifles (no booze), maybe flying the Gadsden flag...
