Several media outlets are reporting Monday morning that Governor Whitmer will be closing Michigan restaurants and bars on Monday.

Fox 2 and Detroit Free Press reported Monday morning that Whitmer said she’ll be releasing more information later in the day about the order, but that it still permits restaurants to make food for carry-out and delivery.

The massive closure comes just days before thousands of Michiganders were planning to head out to the bars for St. Patrick’s Day.

We’ll update this story as soon as more information is available.
