EAST LANSING, Mich. – A new emergency order is slightly easing restrictions on outdoor gathering sizes in East Lansing near Michigan State University (MSU) starting Friday as the state begins to relax some coronavirus restrictions.
Ingham County Health Officer Linda S. Vail on Thursday issued an emergency order that limits outdoor gatherings to no more than 15 people in parts of East Lansing, including the downtown area, effective Friday, March 5.
The order, in effect indefinitely, affects the area inside of the northern edge of the MSU campus to Burcham Drive, between Harrison Road on the west side and Hagadorn Road on the east side. Officials say properties adjacent to those streets are also restricted under the order. Officials say this specific area is being restricted due
Nearly 80,000 food processing and agricultural workers in Michigan are eligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccine as of Monday, weeks earlier than originally planned.
The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services moved last month to prioritize those workers to help ensure the health and safety of Michigan’s essential food and agriculture workers and keep the state’s food supply chain moving, the department said in the announcement. Mortuary workers also were moved up in priority.
The move doesn t just allow workers in high-risk industries such as meatpacking and farm work to become vaccinated. It paves the way for some of Michigan s most vulnerable residents who work in those industries – refugees and undocumented migrant workers – to receive shots.

The 1918 influenza pandemic provides a cautionary tale for what the future may hold for COVID-19, says Chandra.
After a decade studying a flu virus that killed approximately 15,000 Michigan residents, Chandra, a professor in MSU’s James Madison College, saw his research come to life as he watched the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“It was so surreal,” said Chandra, who has a courtesy appointment in epidemiology and biostatistics. “All of a sudden, I was living my research.”
Chandra’s research is published in the American Journal of Public Health with co-authors Julia Christensen, a graduate of James Madison College; Madhur Chandra, Senior Community Epidemiologist with the Ingham County Health Department and graduate of the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics at MSU; and Nigel Paneth, professor of epidemiology and biostatistics and pediatrics at MSU.
