and last updated 2021-02-10 06:06:10-05
Now that indoor dining has reopened in Michigan, restaurants are being asked to voluntarily comply with the stateâs new âMI COVID-19 Safer Diningâ program.
Restaurants that want to become a certified safe dining space will have to work with a licensed HVAC contractor who can recommend changes to air ventilation to improve circulation and reduce the risk of COVID-19 spread.
The American Society for Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) has been guiding multiple states in writing new codes regarding indoor air issues, recommending a certification checklist businesses can follow to mitigate the spread of Covid-19. The CDC, EPA, and MI-OSHA are also helping businesses navigate this process, helping them develop best practices moving forward.

Michigan’s cash bail system needs an overhaul. That’s the message of bipartisan legislation introduced in the state House and Senate.
Representative Tommy Brann (R-Wyoming) wants to get rid of the requirement that parents who owe back child support pay bail to get out jail before they see a judge.
“Being in jail they cannot pay the child support,” Brann said. “So it’s just a vicious circle for them so I just want to give them a chance to get out fast, get back to work so they can still pay their child support, try to get caught up on this.”
