Gov. Whitmer: Today’s actions affect decision on in-person learning in coming weeks
Phase four allows districts to resume some in-person learning, but with a number of safety protocols in place to prevent the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19). Regions in phase five would be allowed to resume in-person learning with fewer safety measures in place. However a recent uptick in COVID-19 cases in Michigan has established doubt over whether resuming in-person learning is safe at all amid the pandemic. Whitmer said Tuesday that she won’t be making any decisions about in-person learning until the last minute when the most recent data is available. In-person learning would only be prohibited in Michigan regions that return to phase three of the MI Safe Start Plan.
