Mich. Gov Gretchen Wilmer is clearly seriously uncomfortable with Michigan's newfound status as one of the epicenter's of the US COVID outbreak, and while colleagues like Gov. Andrew Cuomo insist on moving ahead with reopening plans, the Wolverine State is now directing residents as young as two years old to mask up.

The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services said in a press release on Friday that the state planned to expand its COVID-19 restrictions — what Michigan's DHHS calls "the strongest public health order in the Midwest" — and require masks be worn by "children ages 2 to 4" in order to "further protect the state's residents."
