Gov. Gretchen Whitmer says Michigan needs the federal government to provide not only more test kits and masks but also clear guidance on how best to fight the spread of the coronavirus.
Whitmer spoke Sunday on ABC’s “This Week.” She says Michigan and others are doing the best they can, “but it would be nice to have a national strategy.” As it is, she says the states are “all building the airplane as we fly it.”
She is criticizing the federal government for not focusing on the threat much earlier. Michigan has reported a total of 787 cases of COVID-19.
The latest Michigan count of confirmed COVID-19 cases, as of 2 p.m. on Sunday, March 22, now tops 1,000. Three of the cases are reported in Berrien County.
