Michigan's Governor, Gretchen Whitmer, signed an executive order banning gatherings of more than 250 people, effective March 13, 2020, at 5pm.

Governor Gretchen Whitmer signed Executive Order 2020-20, which makes clear that all facilities that provide non-essential personal care services must temporarily close. The order also reaffirms the other temporary closures of places of public accommodation that were required by Executive Order 2020-9.

Governor Gretchen Whitmer signed the “Stay Home, Stay Safe” Executive Order (EO 2020-21), directing all Michigan businesses and operations to temporarily suspend in-person operations that are not necessary to sustain or protect life. 

The Stay Home, Stay Safe Executive Order was extended through Executive Order 2020-42, Executive Order 2020-59, and Executive Order No. 2020-77, and Executive Order No. 2020-100.
