Governor Gretchen Whitmer announced has lifted the mask requirement for fully vaccinated Michiganders.
Fully vaccinated Michiganders are no longer required to wear a mask or face covering indoors or outdoors. The new order will take effect Saturday, May 15 at 9 a.m.
Under the updated MDHHS Gatherings and Mask Order, Michiganders who are outdoors will no longer need to wear a mask regardless of vaccination status. While indoors, fully vaccinated Michiganders will no longer need to wear a mask, but residents who are not vaccinated, or have not completed their vaccinations, must continue to wear a mask or face covering to protect themselves and others. After July 1, the broad indoor mask mandate will expire.
