WINDSOR TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) — Michigan officials say two people in the Detroit area have tested positive for the coronavirus infection.

A woman in Oakland County had traveled outside the country, while a man from Wayne County had traveled within the U.S.

They are in hospitals and are middle-aged.

Both cases will be reviewed by federal health experts.

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer declared a state of emergency and urged people to wash their hands and avoid touching their faces.

Michigan lawmakers and Gov. Whitmer have agreed to $321 million that will be used to combat the virus, provide financial assistance for older adults go to community college and partially revive the state’s tourism advertising campaign.

The supplemental bills won bipartisan approval from the Republican-led House on Tuesday and could be passed by the GOP-controlled Senate on Thursday.

Some of the money will partly restore funding that she vetoed last fall amid a budget impasse over fixing the roads.
