    Hundreds of people, some openly carrying rifles and handguns, have been protesting against restrictions aimed at stopping the spread of
    coronavirus in the US state of Michigan.

    The state's governor Gretchen Whitmer has ordered people to stay at home
    and non-essential businesses to remain closed during the COVID-19 outbreak.

    Protest organisers had asked people to remain in their cars and cause
    traffic gridlock while holding signs in their vehicles to make their views known.

    But many protesters ignored this, making their way to the state Capitol in Lansing on foot to criticise the stay-at-home order, which has been
    extended to 30 April.

    Among the signs protesters held were those saying: "We are not prisoners"
    and "Michigander against Gretchen's abuses". Others described the order as "tyranny".

    Meshawn Maddock, a member of organisers Michigan Conservative Coalition,
    said: "This arbitrary blanket spread of shutting down businesses, about
    putting all of these workers out of business, is just a disaster.

    "It's an economic disaster for Michigan and people are sick and tired of
    it."

    Governor Whitmer, a Democrat, criticised the protesters for putting public health at risk, as they were standing close together without wearing masks.

    She told reporters she had seen someone handing sweets to children with
    their bare hands, adding: "We know that this rally endangered people.

    "This kind of activity will put more people at risk and, sadly, it could prolong the amount of time we have to be in this posture."

    She said she was aware of the pain caused by the restrictions but that
    they are necessary to stop the spread of coronavirus.
