Gov. Gretchen Whitmer on Tuesday extended her COVID-19 emergency and disaster declaration. The extension will expire at 11:59 p.m. on Aug. 11.

Executive Order (EO) 2020-151 marks the third time Whitmer has extended the declaration since EO 2020-4, issued on March 10. Whitmer’s subsequent EO 2020-67 and EO 2020-68, issued April 30, also extended her emergency and disaster declarations, but were challenged by the state legislature.
