LANSING — Three of Michigan's top college basketball coaches joined Gov. Gretchen Whitmer in Lansing Wednesday to urge Michiganders to wear face coverings as the state recorded nearly 900 new cases of coronavirus — the largest daily count since mid-May.
Whitmer stepped up efforts to increase compliance with her executive order requiring mask-wearing in indoor public spaces and crowded outdoor places, saying plans to return to school this fall depend on it and auto plants could be among the businesses closed if Michigan is forced to move backwards.
