BlankGov. Gretchen Whitmer announced Monday the end of the state's stay-at-home
order
effective immediately with restrictions lifting within the next week for
various
sectors of the economy. Starting Monday, residents are not required to stay
home as
much as possible as long as they continue to adhere to social distancing
guidelines
and safety measures. For businesses, several sectors of the economy will be
allowed
to either reopen for the first time or extend their services beyond what has
been
allowed under the prior order. Whitmer announced the entire state has moved
into
phase 4 of the MI Safe Start recovery plan. "The data has shown that we are
ready to
carefully move our state into the next phase of the MI Safe Start Plan, but we
owe it
to our brave frontline heroes to get this right," Whitmer said in a press
release.
"While Michiganders are no longer required to stay home, we must all continue
to be
smart and practice social distancing, and encourage those who meet the criteria
to
get tested for COVID-19. If we all do our part, our goal is to announce a shift
to
phase five for the entire state prior to the fourth of July. Stay smart, stay
safe,
and let's all do our part. It's worth noting that local governments have the
authority to enact further restrictions if they deem them necessary to protect
the
public health. Here are some of what will and will not be allowed -- and when
-- as
ordered by the governor. June 1 Michiganders are no longer required to stay
home
regardless of the activity or reason for leaving. Indoor social gatherings of
groups
of 10 or less involving people who do not live inside the same household remain
allowed. Outdoor gatherings of up to 100 people are now permitted as long as
people
following social distancing guidelines and those who do not live in the same
home
remain six feet apart. Outdoor parks and recreational facilities may be open if
they
can modify the site to allow for six feet of distance between people who do not
live
in the same home. Areas of parks where social distancing cannot be maintained
must
remain closed. Office work that cannot be completed at home can be done in an
office,
but businesses are asked to allow any work that can be done at home to continue
to be
done at home. House cleaners can resume. Drive-in theaters can reopen. June 4
Retailers will be allowed to reopen without scheduling an appointment with
customers.
However, they will have to adhere to social distancing guidelines, require
masks and
limit their capacity. June 8 Bars and restaurants will be allowed to open for
indoor
and outdoor dining at 50% capacity as long as each table is six feet apart from
others. This includes food courts inside the designated areas of airports. Day
camps
for children will reopen with further guidelines from the state. Outdoor public
swimming pools can reopen at 50% capacity. Indoor pools must remain closed.
Libraries
and museums may reopen. Outdoor fitness classes, athletic practices, training
sessions, or games are permitted as long as coaches, spectators, and
participants not
from the same household maintain six feet of distance from one another at all
times
during such activities, and that equipment and supplies are shared to the
minimum
extent possible and are subject to frequent and thorough disinfection and
cleaning.
Indoor gymnasiums, fitness centers, recreation centers, sports facilities,
exercise
facilities, exercise studios, and the like remain closed. Facilities offering
non-essential personal care services, including hair, nail, tanning, massage,
traditional spa, tattoo, body art, and piercing services, and similar personal
care
services that involve close contact of persons remain closed. Casinos licensed
by the
Michigan Gaming Control Board, racetracks licensed by the Michigan Gaming
Control
Board, and Millionaire Parties licensed by the Michigan Gaming Control Board
remain
closed. Indoor services or facilities, or outdoor services or facilities
involving
close contact of persons, for amusement or other recreational or entertainment
purposes, such as amusement parks, arcades, bingo halls, bowling alleys, indoor
climbing facilities, indoor dance areas, skating rinks, trampoline parks, and
other
similar recreational or entertainment facilities are also closed. June 10 State
forest campgrounds and DNR-operated harbors are set to reopen . June 15 Some
bottle
returns in the state will reopen. June 22 State campgrounds and overnight
shelters
are slated to reopen . Whitmer said during Monday's press conference that she
hopes
to move the state into phase 5 of her plan in the next two to three weeks as
long as
the data continues to show the state isn't seeing an increase in cases. In that
phase, businesses like gyms and hair salons are expected to reopen with certain
safety guidelines and restrictions in place.
