LANSING, MI (WKZO AM/FM) — It will look and feel like life before the pandemic for the first time in over 15 months as Michigan ends nearly all of its COVID-19 restrictions today.
It means all capacity limits, both indoor and outdoor, are lifted along with the mandates to wear face coverings. Although the state has not met its goal of vaccinating 70 percent of those 16 and older, Governor Whitmer says case rates have plummeted.
New cases of COVID-19 are so low that the state will no longer report new cases Fridays through Sundays. As of Monday, the state reported 327 new cases from Sunday and Monday bringing the statewide total to nearly 893,500 total pandemic cases. The statewide death toll is just shy of 19,650 with 35 new deaths reported for those two days.
