Three Week “Pause” Epidemic Order IssuedEffective Wednesday, 11/18/20, the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) has issued a new Epidemic Order that further restricts gatherings and group activities for three weeks to curb the rising rates of COVID-19 in the state. While manufacturing and other work that cannot be done remotely is permitted to continue in-person operations, a number of entertainment venues will be shuttered. Restaurants and bars must close for indoor dining, and high schools and colleges must shift to virtual learning.
In line with the recently announced Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Administration (MIOSHA) State Emphasis Program increasing enforcement on office settings, Governor Gretchen Whitmer and MDHHS Director Robert Gordon last night reiterated that employers must prohibit in-person work when an employee’s duties can feasibly be done remotely. To ensure that manufacturing operations will continue uninterrupted, we must remain vigilant and encourage our employees to be as safe at home as they are on the job. Resources to share the simple but essential messaging of the “Spread Hope, Not COVID” campaign — wear a mask, keep your distance and wash your hands frequently — are available online.
