The Governor revealed a plan that ties specific vaccination levels to removing COVID-19 restrictions.
Two weeks after 4.9 million Michiganders have received their first vaccine dose (60% of the eligible population), the state will increase capacity limits at gyms to 50%, and lift curfews on restaurants and bars.
Two weeks after 5.3 million Michiganders have received their first vaccine dose (65% of the eligible population), the state will lift all indoor capacity restrictions.
Two weeks after 5.7 million Michiganders have received their first vaccine dose (70% of the eligible population), the state will rescind the health department’s face mask and gathering order.
Michigan extended its current COVID-19 restrictions on March 19, 2021; mask-wearing and capacity limits remain, however, and indoor dining capacity will be increased to 50% operating occupancy.
Starting March 5, restaurants may serve twice as many indoor diners under the new set of restrictions, while outdoor dining may continue to operate at full capacity under the new restrictions.
Michigan will allow indoor dining on a limited basis starting February 1. The state will also implement restrictions on indoor dining: businesses can’t be above 25% capacity, and they have to close by 10 p.m. There must be no more than six people to a table, with tables set at least six feet apart.
