MEDC COVID-19 RESPONSE
Indoor Dining Reopens February 1
Following last week’s announcement about the plan to reopen indoor dining, the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) released its next epidemic order today, which goes into effect on Monday, Feb. 1. The order will allow for indoor dining at restaurants with certain requirements; concessions at casinos, movie theaters and stadiums; personal services requiring mask removal; and non-residential gatherings of up to 10 people from two households. The new order will last three weeks, until Sunday, Feb. 21.
The voluntary MI COVID-19 Safer Dining program, also announced, allows food service establishments to become certified by having their ventilation system inspected and submitting their inspection report to the state indicating they are optimizing airflow. Once certified, businesses will be featured on Michigan.gov/covidsaferdining and receive a copy of their certification to post at their establishment to alert diners of their participation.
