On May 15, 2021, the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) issued an updated Gatherings and Face Mask Order that follows the CDC s Guidance for Fully Vaccinated People released on May 13, 2021, which says that fully vaccinated individuals do not need to wear masks indoors or outdoors. The May 15 MDHHS Order continues to impose gathering restrictions and requires contact tracing for particular gatherings, but relaxes the face mask requirement. Specifically, there is no longer a requirement in Michigan to wear face masks at outdoor gatherings. Additionally, fully vaccinated persons, defined as persons for whom at least two weeks has passed after receiving the final dose of an FDA-approved or authorized COVID-19 vaccine, do not have to wear face masks when participating in indoor gatherings. Persons who are not fully vaccinated are still required to wear face masks at indoor gatherings unless one of the limited exceptions applies.
