Whitmer to lift remaining COVID-19 restrictions Tuesday as case numbers trend downward

All COVID-19 epidemic orders on gatherings and masks will come to an end early next week, 10 days ahead of schedule, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer announced Thursday.

Beginning Tuesday, both indoor and outdoor settings may increase capacity back to 100% and residents will no longer be required to wear a face mask.

Whitmer said the early end of state-issued restrictions comes as COVID-19 cases continue to decline and vaccination rates continue to rise. On Thursday, the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS ) reported just 172 daily new cases.

“Today is a day that we have all been looking forward to, as we can safely get back to normal day-to-day activities and put this pandemic behind us,” Whitmer said. “We owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to the medical experts and health professionals who stood on the front lines to keep us all safe.

Take a look at this. This doctor is from Harvard.
