Good morning and happy first day of June!
If you had a three-day weekend off work or school, I hope it was both restful and meaningful.
On Friday, the city of Ann Arbor announced that it will be easing capacity limits at its three pools as local and state recommendations change as COVID cases fall and vaccinations rise. City officials said they will reevaluate their safety practices on July 1 when the state of Michigan fully reopens.
Both Veterans Memorial Park and Buhr Park pools remained closed last summer due to the coronavirus pandemic. Fuller Park pool opened in July for 2.5 months with very limited capacity.

ANN ARBOR – The Washtenaw County Health Department and local health care providers are decreasing mass vaccination clinics as vaccines are widely available.
Since shots are now plentiful, the need for emergency distribution strategies like the county’s mass vaccination sites at Eastern Michigan University and in Chelsea has decreased.
The Health Department will continue to provide COVID vaccinations at its offices and through smaller community clinics for walk-ins. Anyone 12 years of age or older is encouraged to get the vaccine at no cost.
Buhr, Fuller and Veterans Memorial pools will be updating their operating procedures for the summer following recent announcements from Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer and the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS).
