On May 24, 2021, Governor Gretchen Whitmer announced updates to Michigan OSHA’s COVID-19 emergency rules and the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services COVID-19 Gatherings and Face Masks epidemic order, eliminating outdoor capacity limits and increasing indoor social gatherings to 50 percent capacity as of June 1.
Michigan OSHA published its revised COVID-19 emergency rules in accordance with the state’s “Vacc to Normal” plan and other recent health guidelines. In particular, with the state having achieved a 55 percent vaccination threshold, Michigan OSHA has removed the requirement that employers create a “policy prohibiting in-person work for employees to the extent that their work activities can feasibly be completed remotely.”
The emergency rules are set to expire on October 14, 2021, unless rescinded sooner.
