'We can't let our guard down, but now we are in a position to move forward,' Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer said.
According to Dr. Joneigh Khaldun, the chief medical executive and chief deputy director for health at the MDHHS, the state's declining case rates were important in deciding to move forward with reopening. Though the state had been reporting a 12 percent positive rate among those tested for the virus, Khaldun said that rate was decreasing.
Restaurants will be able to resume serving customers using indoor and outdoor seating at 50 percent capacity starting June 8, though Whitmer said each restaurant that chooses to reopen must place tables at least 6 feet apart to promote social distancing.in time for the Memorial Day weekend, albeit with similar restrictions in place. According to the Michigan Restaurant and Lodging Association , those early efforts at reopening were successful.
Despite the encouraging trends in declining case numbers and the new efforts to reopen the state, Whitmer said local leaders would have the ability to impose stricter restrictions if they decided doing so was necessary.
