On June 17, 2021, the director of the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) issued a Rescission of Emergency Orders lifting a number of the department’s emergency orders as of June 22, 2021, at 12:01 a.m. Most significantly, it rescinds the June 1 Gatherings and Face Mask Order capping indoor capacity at 50 percent, which was originally set to expire on July 1. Rescission of the June 1 order marks the removal of the last of the MDHHS’s remaining broad COVID-19 restrictions on businesses and individuals.

The June 17 order also rescinds the following MDHHS emergency orders:

  • Temporary Restrictions for Entry into Congregate Care and Juvenile Justice Facilities (October 29, 2020)
  • Mandatory Testing for Michigan Department of Health and Human Services’ Juvenile Justice Facility Staff (signed on September 18, 2020)
  • Mandatory Testing for Michigan Department of Health and Human Services Hospitals and Centers Staff (September 14, 2020)
  • Exceptions to Temporary Restrictions on Entry into Congregate Care and Juvenile Justice Facilities (June 29, 2020)
  • Exceptions to Temporary Restrictions on Entry into Certain Facilities (June 3, 2020)
  • Safe Housing for Housing Unstable Individuals (May 12, 2020)
  • Handling of Bodily Remains (May 4, 2020)
  • Safe Housing for Michigan Homeless (April 28, 2020)

The Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Administration (MIOSHA) filed updated emergency rules on June 22, 2021, effective through December 22, 2021. The new rules no longer include broad requirements for Michigan employers, but rather adopt several federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration regulations pertaining to health care settings.
