As some residents protest Covid-19 restrictions, state governors take different tacks 

As state officials continue to urge the public to comply with restrictions to curb the spread of Covid-19, some residents are pushing back and getting different responses from their governors. In Michigan, for instance, where Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has issued a stay-at-home order until May 15, protesters have twice taken to the state capitol, often defying social distancing measures. But yesterday, Whitmer defended her order, saying that the measures in place have continued to save lives and that the protesters represent only a small minority of Michiganders. In Ohio, where retail and other stores will open May 11, Gov. Mike DeWine issued an order last week asking residents to wear masks in public, but was met with backlash from some Ohioans. DeWine subsequently reversed course, telling ABC that the mask order was going too far and that "people were not going to accept the government telling them what to do."
