Before reopening Michigan, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer says she's 'assessing daily' stay-at-home restrictions

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, one of the chief executives on the frontlines of the coronavirus crisis as her state suffers some of the highest tolls in the country, said she is "assessing daily" the restrictions put in place by her administration to stem the spread of the virus.

"We have...a uniquely bad situation here in Michigan and that's why of the [stay-at-home] orders that have been promulgated across the country, ours is the most restrictive. It's because we've got this the toughest problem per capita," Whitmer said during an interview for ABC News' "Powerhouse Politics" podcast on Wednesday.
