LANSING, Mich — Gov. Gretchen Whitmer announced Monday changes to return-to-work guidelines and capacity limits.
The state announced May 10 that 55% of Michiganders had been vaccinated against COVID-19. Monday, two weeks since that announcement, Michiganders can begin returning to in-person work as outlined in the MI Vacc to Normal plan.
“As we work to put Michigan back to work, we are moving quickly to invest in our families, small businesses, and communities to help them succeed,” Whitmer said. “The reason we can take these steps is thanks to every Michigander who has stepped up and taken action to keep themselves, their families, and their communities safe. Together, we are eliminating this once-in-a-century virus, and now we are poised to jumpstart our economy and power it to new highs.”
