As Gov. Gretchen Whitmer announced a continuation of the statewide, indoor restaurant dining ban through at least Feb. 1, frustrated Senate Republicans floated the possibility of rejecting gubernatorial appointees until COVID-19 related closures cease.
Some of the previous restrictions were lifted under the latest Michigan Department of Health and Human Services order, which goes into effect on Saturday, Jan. 16. Indoor fitness classes and non-contact sports can restart, while indoor dining, water parks and night clubs are among the sectors still closed.
