Gretchen Whitmer said Saturday’s record-breaking coronavirus numbers is a call to action to avoid going backwards. On Sunday’s episode of Flashpoint medical experts weighed in on the new spike in coronavirus cases. Whitmer spoke with Local 4 about the possibility of a second lockdown after 3,338 new cases of COVID-19 were reported Saturday -- the highest ever reported.

The number of confirmed cases of the coronavirus (COVID-19) in Michigan has risen to 158,026 as of Saturday, including 7,182 deaths. She also answered questions about the recent Michigan Supreme Court ruling that took away her emergency coronavirus powers.
