Starting\u00a0July 31, 2020,\u00a0statewide indoor gatherings will be limited to 10 people\u00a0and certain bars will be closed\u00a0for indoor service\u00a0across the state.\u00a0 While this was the case previously for most of Michigan, the new order applies these restrictions to Regions 6 and 8, northern lower Michigan and the Upper Peninsula. Outdoor gatherings are still restricted to 100 people unless located within Regions 6 and 8.\u00a0 For these regions outdoor gatherings are limited to 250 people.<\/p>\n

Remote work, which previously looked to be strongly encouraged is now being required if an employee can perform their duties remotely.<\/p>\n

Detroit casinos will\u00a0be allowed to open\u00a0on August 5, but their occupancy will be limited to\u00a015% capacity.\u00a0Casinos must also, among other things, conduct\u00a0a daily entry screening protocol for customers\u00a0and\u00a0employees.\u00a0 Casinos must require patrons to wear a face covering, except while eating or drinking or for identification purposes.<\/p>\n

Information around this outbreak is changing rapidly. The latest information is available at\u00a0Michigan.gov\/Coronavirus<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0CDC.gov\/Coronavirus<\/a>.<\/p>\n
