3 Things Michigan Businesses Need to Know About New Mask Rules

Updates from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and State of Michigan this week offer new guidance on mask use and social distancing protocols based on vaccination status. A new Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) order will take effect on Saturday, May 15. As MICHauto tracks changes to pandemic rules, here are three things businesses need to know now:

• Fully vaccinated people no longer need to wear a mask or physically distance in any setting, except where required by federal, state, local, tribal, or territorial laws, rules, and regulations, including local business and workplace guidance, according to the CDC.

• The updated guidance further underscores that vaccines are the most effective and important way to ensure a sustainable and robust economic recovery for Michigan and the path for a full return to normal business operations.

• As the new orders are released there is still ambiguity for Michigan businesses, and the Chamber will continue to update members with the most up-to-date information.
