DETROIT - 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.
The varying plans could complicate matters for automakers and others with interdependent operations across the Midwest. Republican politicians and individuals affiliated with Trump’s re-election campaign have organized or promoted protests in electoral battleground states where some people are eager to get back to work amid sweeping stay-at-home orders.
Three days later, the manufacturing, distribution and construction sectors will reopen. General offices also can reopen then, although DeWine encouraged companies to keep employees telecommuting if possible. On May 12, consumer retail and services will reopen, he said. Whitmer, by contrast, said she would divide Michigan into eight regions, separating the hard hit southeastern Detroit metro area from the rest of the state, using the divisions as one of many factors in determining risk for restarting certain sectors.
