Share April 08, 2021, 9:46 PM Two weeks ago, Michigan GOP senators passed a bill they hammered out with help from the state s restaurant lobby to shut indoor dining in the event of a surge in positivity rates and hospitalizations, saying clearer benchmarks were needed so restaurants could prepare. Now that surge is here, but you d be hard pressed to hear the bills backers say they support a closure, especially as Gov. Gretchen Whitmer says she plans to avoid further restrictions with vaccinations well underway. They were asked for their stances by the Free Press: Justin Winslow, president and CEO of the Michigan Restaurant and Lodging Association . noted a proposal offered by the association is slightly different than the language of the bill and would likely not mandate closing indoor dining right now.

Despite Michigan leading the nation in new COVID-19 cases per capita, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer announced Friday that Michigan is not shutting down restaurants again.
But Whitmer and Michigan’s Chief Medical Executive Dr. Joneigh Khaldun are strongly discouraging indoor dining – leaving restaurant industry leaders feeling bittersweet.
“Infectious disease and public health experts across the country have been quite clear that indoor dining is one of the riskiest things you can do during this pandemic,” Khaldun said. “And with the numbers that we are seeing now, we simply do not recommend it.”
The calls were suggestions, however, and not mandates sought by some health experts as cases soar and hospital beds fill amid Michigan’s third coronavirus wave.
“This is a team effort. It s on all of us to do our part by masking up and getting vaccinated to protect ourselves and our families, so we can get back to normal,” Whitmer said. “Let’s get it done.”
Whitmer also asked the administration of President Joe Biden, a fellow Democrat, to send Michigan more doses of the coronavirus vaccines, a request that has not been accepted.
Instead, she said the White House offered more therapeutic supplies, personnel and other things but not additional vaccines.
