West Michigan Reacts to Relaxed Mask Rules It's been a crazy 24 hours in our current pandemic life, and a big step forward for those of us who are lucky enough to be fully vaccinated. The CDC has essentially said that those fully vaxxed can ditch the mask nearly everywhere. As the State of Michigan has done before, they've applied the recommendations from the CDC for use as health orders from the Michigan Department Of Health and Human Services. As of Saturday morning at 9am, the health order requiring use of a mask for the fully vaccinated will be rescinded. Those who are not fully vaccinated are still required to wear a mask as they have before.
