On Thursday, April 29 Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer held a press conference announcing the “MI Vacc to Normal Challenge” to re-open portions of the Michigan economy restricted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The plan sets out four major milestones for loosening of restrictions, which are based upon vaccination rates for Michiganders 16 years or older who have received at least their first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. The vaccination rate-based milestones are:
Step 1 – 2 weeks after 55% of the Michigan population ages 16 and older receives at least their first COVID-19 vaccination, the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) will permit in-person work for all sectors of business, effectively lifting the Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Administration (MIOSHA) requirement for remote work when feasible.

LANSING – The State’s Return-to-Office Workgroup has provided Gov. Gretchen Whitmer with their recommendations for how employers can begin to plan for a safe, phased reopening of offices. The group consisting of business, labor and public health experts, was established on March 15, and has acted quickly to develop concise recommendations regarding Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Administration (MIOSHA) and Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) polices and additional guidance and best practices to help employers plan for a return to in-person office work.
“Workers and their safety are our top priority,” said Michigan COVID-19 Workplace Safety Director Sean Egan. “We have taken a proactive approach to listen and collect feedback from a wide array of stakeholders, as we try to address challenges and concerns of employers who are looking to align their reopen plans with health guidance and safety rules.”
