Michigan has reported 10,791 COVID-19 cases as of this writing.
With the third-highest coronavirus case count in the U.S., Michigan is resorting to fines for those who violate state orders to maintain social distance and stay at home.
Violators could be fined up to $1,000, and business licenses may be jeopardized under an order signed late Thursday by Michigan Department of Health and Human Services Director Robert Gordon.
