HER TO COURT.
>> IF WE DID NOT HAVE THE VIDEO

AGAINST THIS MAN.
THE POSSIBLE JAIL TIME FOR A MAN
ACCUSED OF WIPING HIS NOSE ON A
STORE EMPLOYEE.
STORE EMPLOYEE. PAULA?
PAULA? >> SHE PASSED AWAY AFTER LIVING
110 GLORIOUS YEARS BUT COVID-19
IS CHANGING HER DYING WISHES.
>> THIS STORY IS COMING UP.
>> LIVE FROM DOWNTOWN DETROIT,
HOME OF WDIV RIGHT NOW.
>> GOOD AFTERNOON.
FIRST, WE ARE FOLLOWING THE
IMPACT OF THE CORONAVIRUS FROM
LANSING TO THE AUTO INDUSTRY AND
THE CITY OF DETROIT.
STATE REPUBLICANS ARE TAKING THE
GOVERNOR TO COURT OVER HER STATE
OF EMERGENCY.
OF EMERGENCY. THE LEGAL BATTLE IS AS CASES OF
COVID-19 ARE STILL ON THE RISE.
TODAY, THE STATE ADDED 657 CASES
TO THE TOTAL.
THAT IS UP TO MORE THAN 45,000.
ALSO, MORE THAN 4,200 HAVE LOST
THEIR BATTLE WITH THE VIRUS.
FROM THE AUTO INDUSTRY, GENERAL
MOTORS CONFIRMED THEY HOPE TO
OPEN THE U.S. AND CANADA
FACTORIES MAY 18.
TOMORROW, CONSTRUCTION AND
OUTDOOR WORKERS CAN GO BACK TO
WORK.
WORK. THIS DETROIT, THE MAYOR IS
LOOKING FOR MORE TESTING SO
PEOPLE CAN GET PACK TO WORK
SAFELY.
SAFELY. HE HAS A CLEAR PLAN.
>> EVERY SINGLE PERSON WHO IS
WORKING IN A JOB IN DETROIT CAN
BE TESTED NOW.
IF YOU ARE ABOUT TO GO BACK TO
WORK, AS A NUMBER OF THE AUTO
COMPANIES ARE DOING THAT.
IF WE CAN BE IN THE 1,500-2,000
TESTS A DAY RANGE WE CAN SAFELY
GET OUR FOLKS BACK TO WORK.
>> BACK TO THE LEGAL CHALLENGE
FACING THE GOVERNOR.
REPUBLICAN LAWMAKERS ARE
BATTLING TO STOP HER POWERS
DURING THE CRISIS AND OTHER
EMERGENCIES IN THE FUTURE.
WE HAVE THE LATEST FROM THE
NEWSROOM.
NEWSROOM. >> THIS IS THE SECOND LEGAL
ACTION FILED THIS WEEK, SEPARATE
FROM THE ONE FILED BY REPUBLICAN
CONGRESSMAN MITCHELL.
CONGRESSMAN MITCHELL. THAT BATTLE IS IN FEDERAL COURT.
TODAY, THE ACTION, REPUBLICAN
LEADERS ARGUE THE GOVERNOR ACTED
BEYOND HER AUTHORITY BY
EXTENDING THE CORONAVIRUS STATE
OF EMERGENCY WITHOUT APPROVAL.
THE GOVERNOR SAID THAT A LAW
FROM 1945 GIVES HEARD THE
AUTHORITY TO DO EXACTLY THAT.
REPUBLICANS DISAGREE.
REPUBLICANS DISAGREE. THEY WANT THE JUDICIAL BRANCH TO
HAVE THE SAY.
>> IT IS OUR BELIEF THAT LAW
DOES NOT GIVE THE POWER TO THE
GOVERNOR TO RULE THE ENTIRE
STATE ON THEIR OWN FOR AS LONG
AS THEY HIKE.
TODAY, WE ARE ASKING THE COURT
TO AFFIRM OUR OPINION.
>> REPUBLICAN LEADERS HAVE ASKED
FOR AN EXPEDITED HEARING.
THEY BELIEVE THIS COULD END UP
GOING TO THE STATE SUPREME
COURT.
COURT. THE GOVERNOR IS SAY THIS IS NOT
THE TIME TO BE PLAYING POLITICAL
GAMES.
GAMES. RIGHT NOW, HER CURRENT
STAY-AT-HOME ORDER IS IN PLACE
THROUGH MAY 15.
THE EMERGENCY DECLARATION WAS
THE ONE SHE WANTED TO EXTEND
THROUGH THE END OF 9 MONTH.
STAY-AT-HOME ORDER, AGAIN,
ANOTHER NINE DAYS.

CHARGES.
CHARGES. THE 68-YEAR-OLD WENT BEFORE THE

AND CAN ONLY LEAVE FOR TRIPS TO
THE GROCERY STORE, COURT, OUR
POTENTIAL MEDICAL ISSUES.
HE FACES THREE MONTHS IN JAIL.
>>> THE WARM WEEKEND HAS MANY
PEOPLE SWITCHING ON THE AIR
CONDITIONING FOR THE FIRST TIME.
SOME ARE WONDERING, IS THAT A
GOOD IDEA?
GOOD IDEA? OUR DOCTOR JOINS TO US ADDRESS
CONCERNS OF AIR CONDITIONING AND
THE CORONAVIRUS.
THE CORONAVIRUS. >> SEVERAL VIEWERS HAVE ASKED IF
IT IS SAFE TO TURN ON THE AIR
CONDITIONING OR OPEN WINDOWS.
BOTH ARE SAFE.
THERE IS NO CONCERN ON THE VIRUS
COMING TO THE HOUSE THAT WAY.
WHAT ABOUT AIR CONDITIONING IN
PUBLIC PLACES LIKE RESTAURANTS?
THAT IS STILL BEING STUDIED.
THERE IS ONE REPORT FROM CHINA
WHERE A DINER IS BELIEVED TO
HAVE INFECTED PEOPLE AT TWO
OTHER TABLES.
OTHER TABLES. THE INFECTED DINER IS A1, AND
THE OTHER RED CIRCLES ARE PEOPLE
WOULD ALSO GOT SICK.
RETURNS SAY THEY BELIEVE THE
RESTAURANT AIR CONDITIONING UNIT
MAY HAVE SPREAD THE VIRUS
FURTHER THAN IT WOULD NORMALLY
TRAVEL AND THE POOR VENTILATION
PLAYED A ROLE.
THIS KNEES TO BE STUDIED MORE
BUT AN EXAMPLE OF WHY INCREASING
THE SPACE BETWEEN TABLES AND
WORK SPACES IS IMPORTANT AND
LIMITING THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE IN
A ROOM IS HELPFUL.
THE AMERICAN SOCIETY OF HEATING
AND REFRIGERATION AND AIR
CONDITIONING ENGINEERS HAVE
CREATED A TASK FORCE TO LOOK AT
THE ISSUE OF AIR CONDITIONING.
RIGHT NOW, THE ORGANIZATION IS
RECOMMENDING MAKE SURE THE AIR
CONDITIONING ARE FUNCTIONING
PROPERLY, AND BRING MORE OUTSIDE
AIR IN, UPGRADE THE AIR FILTERS
AND POSSIBLE THE SOCIAL
DISTANCING FOR GOOD HYGIENE.
