LANSING, MI -- Gov. Gretchen Whitmer on Friday extended the state’s “Stay Home, Stay Safe” through May 15, but with that extension came the lifting of several restrictions on various business and leisure activities. Some businesses that have been closed for weeks will be allowed to reopen while using social distancing guidelines to ensure safety of workers and the public.

Some new restrictions have also been added as the state continues to look at ways to limit the coronavirus outbreak. The order went into effect at 11 a.m. Friday, unless otherwise noted. Here is a quick look at some of the major changes announced in Gov. Whitmer’s latest stay-at-home order:

Short-term housing or vacation rentals (AirBnB, for example) are prohibited, unless used to house health care workers who are aiding in the response to the outbreak.

Masks that cover the mouth and nose must be worn in any enclosed public space by anyone who can medically tolerate wearing a mask. Masks can be homemade, a scarf, bandana or handkerchief. Whitmer did say there are no charges associated with not wearing a mask, however businesses may refuse service to anyone not wearing a mask in an enclosed space. Any business with workers performing in-person tasks must provide employees with a non-medical grade mask. N-95 masks should be reserved for use by health care professionals, first responders and other critical workers who interact with the public. This portion of the order goes into effect at 11:59 p.m. Sunday.

Travel to and from residences in Michigan is allowed once again. This includes moving into a new residence. Residents may also leave the state to travel to another residence or return from out of state to a residence in Michigan. Travel to vacation rentals is prohibited.

State parks will remain open for day use. However, they are subject to closure if the DNR determines too many large crowds are gathering or social distancing is not being observed.

Workers at garden stores, nurseries and lawn care, pest control and landscaping operations may return to work while using social distancing guidelines.

Bicycle maintenance and repair shops may reopen.

Moving and storage workers may also resume working under social distancing guidelines.

Maintenance workers and groundskeepers who are necessary to maintain the safety and sanitation of places of outdoor recreation may return to work, provided their employers are allowed to be open under the order.

Golf courses are allowed to reopen, provided golfers adhere to social distancing guidelines and stay at least six feet away from people who do not live in their home. Golf carts will not be allowed.

Boating, including the use of motors, is also allowed once again, as long as boaters stay at least six feet away from anyone who does not live in their home.

Travel to addiction recovery meetings is allowed, as long as there are no more than 10 people in attendance.

Large stores may once again sell items like carpeting, paint and furniture.

Bans against dine-in services at restaurants and bars remain in place, as are prohibitions against salons and other non-essential businesses opening to the public.

COVID-19 PREVENTION TIPS

In addition to washing hands regularly and not touching your face, officials recommend practicing social distancing, assuming anyone may be carrying the virus.

Health officials say you should be staying at least 6 feet away from others and working from home, if possible.

Carry hand sanitizer with you, and use disinfecting wipes or disinfecting spray cleaners on frequently-touched surfaces in your home (door handles, faucets, countertops) and when you go into places like stores.
