Michigan employers on bringing workers back: We've been waiting for this Adrienne Roberts, Detroit Free Press
Michigan hit its first vaccine benchmark the week of May 10, allowing employers to bring employees back to the workplace for in-person work starting as soon as May 24.
Under the state's plan, employers will no longer need to require remote work for most employees, although few other details are known about how workplace safety guidance from the Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Administration will change, including guidance on mask wearing, now that anyone who is fully vaccinated in Michigan will no longer need to wear a mask indoors.

When conceptual artist and doctor Ahmed Mater’s “Magnetism” sold for $120,000 at an auction hosted by Christie’s in London last month, it began what is planned as a year-long partnership between international artist, public health leaders and the Aspen-based Open Mind Project to help support vulnerable communities affected by the novel coronavirus pandemic.
The artwork is a sculptural piece focused on a cuboid magnet that resembles the Kaʿbah of the Meccan rites. Around the cube are spiral patterns made of tens of thousands of particles of iron evoking the annual Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca. Given that Mecca was seen mostly empty for the first time in its history during 2020’s pandemic, this work was chosen to launch the Healing Arts Auction series.
