Thanks to an order signed Thursday morning, May 21st, by Governor Gretchen Whitmer, gatherings of 10 people or less are now allowed in the state of Michigan.
According to MLive, this order goes into effect immediately, which means you’ll be able to get together, all while social distancing, and celebrate Memorial Day.
The order also allows retail businesses and car dealerships to operate by appointment only beginning Tuesday, May 26th. Nonessential medical, dental, and veterinary procedures can also resume.
Earlier this week, Whitmer announced that the Upper Peninsula and northern Michigan would be allowed to open bars and restaurants at 50% capacity.
