Gretchen Whitmer Ties Reopening to Vaccination Rates

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) outlined a plan that ties specific vaccination levels to rolling back COVID-19 restrictions, Detroit Free Press reports.

“In short: Two weeks after 60% of people get their first vaccine dose, the state will increase indoor capacity for sporting events, gyms and lift curfews on restaurants/bars; two weeks after hitting 65%, it will lift all indoor capacity restrictions; two weeks after hitting 70%, the state will rescind its mask mandate.”
