As COVID-19 continues to spread, Detroit PBS and other PBS stations across the state are working to deliver clear, concise information to help community members stay informed. Our friends at WKAR Public Media in East Lansing, Michigan have produced a new special, “COVID-19: Answers and Insight – The Institutional Response” that we believe residents in Southeast Michigan can also benefit from watching.

Stanley Jr., M.D., and Michigan Department of Health and Human Services Chief Medical Executive and Chief Deputy Director for Health, Joneigh S. Khaldun, M.D.

“COVID-19: Answers and Insight – The Institutional Response” looks at the steps Michigan government officials and other state leaders are taking during the COVID-19 pandemic to keep Michigan residents safe.
