Beginning Thursday many Michigan businesses have been cleared to reopen under Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s MI Safe Start Plan. Whitmer lifted the state’s stay-at-home order last week as the state moves into the “Improving” phase of the pandemic.

The Mall of Monroe -- like a number of malls reopening across the state -- is introducing new signage and procedures to encourage social distancing and increase sanitization amid reopening.
