Ohio, Michigan governors diverge on plans to reopen during pandemic

Ohio Governor Mike DeWine outlined "first steps" toward reopening the state's economy on Monday, diverging from Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer who said she would not be held to "artificial timelines" while fighting the COVID-19 pandemic. Ohio would start by allowing non-essential surgeries this week and then move to open the manufacturing and retail sectors after that, DeWine told a webcast news briefing. Ohio and Michigan are part of a coalition of states, including Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Indiana and Kentucky, that agreed to coordinate their economic reopening.
