On this week's edition of COVID-19: Answers and Insight, how will COVID-19 impact outdoor summer activities in Michigan? Communities across Michigan are affected by closures of some state and local parks. But there are still plenty of ways for people to get out and enjoy the warmer weather. Representatives from Michigan's Department of Natural resources, Travel Michigan, and Lansing City Parks and Recreation will join host Shawn Turner to discuss.
