(Lansing, MI) - The Governor of Michigan issued a new Order on Sunday, imposing new restrictions in response to rising COVID-19 numbers. 

The order calls for restaurants in Michigan to close their indoor dining once again.  And, in-person learning and school sports competitions will also grind to a halt.

Governor Gretchen Whitmer said experts believe weekly deaths statewide from the virus could reach 1,000 if no steps were taken to try and flatten the curve.  

The restrictions begin early Wednesday morning and will be in effect for at least three weeks.
