Stay-at-home order extended to May 28, manufacturing to restart Monday
Governor Gretchen Whitmer on Thursday extended the state’s stay-at-home order while loosening up on restrictions on the manufacturing industry.
The staty-at-home order is now set to expire May 28. Meanwhile, manufacturers can go back to work Monday.
Manufacturing makes up about 20% of the state’s economy, according to an article in Bridge Magazine.
“This is truly good news for our state,” Whitmer said. “It’s a major step forward on our MI Safe Start plan to re-engage our economy safely and responsibly”
Manufacturers will still have to abide by rules meant to keep COVID-19 from spreading. That includes daily coronavirus symptom screenings for employees, maintaining a six-foot distance between people, and barring non-employees from job sites.
