Attorney Nessel's Response to FAQs About Executive Orders

LANSING - In the city of Lansing, Attorney General Dana Nessel has received hundreds of phone calls, emails, and social media posts from people wanting answers about how Governor Whitmer's executive orders impact them. Michiganders are anxious to know what they need to do moving forward.

The overall orders that residents of Michigan should know are as follows:

-Employers must notify coworkers when someone has tested positive for COVID-19 (without disclosure of a person's identity to the public).

-"Stay Home, Stay Safe" Executive Order (residents need to stay in their homes as much as possible). Violations to the orders can result in fines or jail time.

-It is suggested to know your employment rights. Things may have changed with the executive order.

With the United States reaching over 200,000 cases of the COVID-19, leaders are strategizing the best possible outcome as the virus continues to spread.
