They spoke about the early stages of the pandemic, Michigan’s response to the virus and how the situation evolved over time.

“Michigan was hard hit by COVID-19 early in the pandemic, but because we took quick action and Michiganders did their part to slow the spread of the virus, we are in a much better position than many other states,” Whitmer said.
