LANSING, MI — Governor Gretchen Whitmer is not planning on issuing a new mask order due to COVID-19, even as the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention say people might need to mask up again indoors.
Whitmer says the nation knows more about COVID-19 than a year ago, and there are vaccines available. She says she is not anticipating another pandemic order in the near future or “maybe not ever.”
The governor is urging people to get vaccinated to protect themselves. Right now just under 54-percent of people 16 and over in the state are fully protected.
