Inspectors from Wayne and Oakland counties visit restaurants each month to make sure food safety protocols are being followed.
Health inspections take place year-round at restaurants and other places with commercial kitchens, although it slowed down for much of 2020 as dining rooms were ordered closed on multiple occasions by the state in an effort to help slow the spread of COVID-19, which has infected hundreds of thousands statewide since first being found in Michigan in March.
Dining rooms remained open for the last several months before the state Department of Health and Human Services ordered indoor dining closed in mid-November, a closure that lasts until Feb. 1. Outdoor dining at restaurants continues to be allowed under the state health departments orders, with some restaurants getting creative in how they bring customers in.
