Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer is easing the state's coronavirus lockdown restrictions, announcing Thursday that manufacturing workers can return to their jobs on Monday, when factories will reopen. Whitmer also extended the state's stay-at-home order to May 28.
密歇根州州長格雷琴·惠特默正在放寬密歇根州對于新冠狀病毒的封鎖限制,并于周四宣布制造業工人可以在周一重返工作崗位,屆時工廠將復工。惠特默還將密歇根州的居家避難令延長至5月28日。
"This is good news for our state, our businesses and our working families," Whitmer said at a press conference. "We're not out of the woods yet, but this is an important step forward on our MI Safe Start plan to re-engage our economy safely and responsibly."
惠特默在記者招待會上表示:“對于我們的國家、我們的企業和我們的工作家庭來說,這都是個好消息。我們還沒有走出困境,但這是朝著我們的安全啟動計劃邁出的重要一步,以此來安全和負責任地重新啟動我們的經濟。”
Dr. Joneigh Khaldun, chief deputy director for health at the state's Department of Health and Human Services, said current data supports the governor's decision to lift certain restrictions.
喬尼·卡爾頓博士是密歇根州衛生與公共服務部的衛生副總干事,他表明目前的數據支持州長解除某些限制的決定。
"The steps the governor is taking today will help ensure protections for workers and their families from COVID-19 while allowing for work in lower-risk fields to resume," Khaldun said.
卡爾頓博士說:“州長今天采取的措施將有助于確保工人及其家庭免受新冠狀病毒的傷害,同時允許低風險領域的復工,”
The decision to resume construction and other outdoor work comes after hundreds of anti-lockdown protesters gathered April 30 at the state Capitol in Lansing. On CNN's State of the Union, Whitmer criticized demonstrators who were seen carrying Nazi symbols and Confederate flags. "The behavior that you've seen in all of the clips is not representative of who we are in Michigan," she said.
4月30日,在數百名反封鎖示威者在蘭興的國會大廈集會后,下達了恢復建筑業和其他戶外工作的決定。在美國有線電視新聞網(CNN)的國情咨文節目中,惠特默批評了那些手持納粹標志和邦聯旗幟的示威者。她表示:“你在所有片段中看到的行為并不能代表我們在密歇根州的形象。”
