Here's What's Reopened And What's Still Closed In Michigan Monday

MICHIGAN — New coronavirus orders take effect in Michigan Monday, meaning several more businesses are able to open to customers. However, some businesses remain closed as well.

The state of what is open and what is closed has been a nauseating back-and-forth in Michigan. Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer first announced the restrictions — which included a ban on indoor dining at Michigan eateries, restricted indoor social gatherings and other group activities — Nov. 15 after the state saw a significant uptick in new cases and deaths stemming from the coronavirus.

The order took effect Nov. 18 but was extended 12 days prior to expiring. That extension was set to expire Sunday until Friday's announcement amended it, allowing schools, casinos and other businesses to reopen while keeping eateries closed to indoor dining.
