Michigan governor extends and eases stay-at-home order that drew protests

UPDATE: Michigan Gov. Whitmer on Friday has extended stay-at-home order until May 15, but eased some restrictions on public activities, as the state's coronavirus cases stabilize.

The new order, Whitmer said, eases those restrictions. It allows in-state travel, motor boating and golfing, but golf carts cannot be used.

Big-box retailers no longer have to close off garden centers and areas dedicated to selling carpeting, flooring, furniture, garden centers, plant nurseries or paint. Landscapers, lawn-service companies, plant nurseries, and bike repair shops can also resume operating, but all are subject to social distancing rules.
