Michigan is currently under a revised order that heightened COVID-19 restrictions. The original order was issued in November and has twice been extended.
In mid-December, MDHHS revised the order to reopen certain entertainment venues, such as bowling alleys, movie theaters and casinos, though concessions are not allowed.
Indoor dining at restaurants is still among the activities banned by the state.
The current order is in effect until Jan. 15, but Whitmer said during her last briefing that the state would consider resuming some activities earlier if significant progress is made.
