(WXYZ) â The State of Michigan is expanding its new Safer Dining Program.
The program promotes ventilation in Michigan restaurants and food establishments. Under the program, restaurants utilize a licensed HVAC contractor or engineer to inspect their ventilation systems and receive recommended changes to improve circulation within their workplace and reduce the risk of COVID-19 spread.
The state is encouraging restaurants to have their HVAC system inspected to ensure effective ventilation.
