LANSING, Mich. – Michigan has extended its workplace emergency rules that require remote working when possible and enforce other
COVID-19 safety measures at businesses.
The Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity extended the rules by six months -- until Oct. 14. They were scheduled to expire Wednesday (April 14), but MIOSHA issued an extension as COVID-19 cases rise throughout the state.
Michigan officials said the rules can be adjusted or withdrawn at any time, depending on COVID-19 metrics in the state.
