Lansing Gov. Gretchen Whitmer says she s hopeful that her administration can take more aggressive steps to lift restrictions on some Michigan businesses after Jan. 1 as the state s COVID-19 metrics continue to trend in a positive direction.
The Democratic governor said the so-called pause on indoor dining at bars and restaurants and at other places people gather is working. However, she cautioned that events and gatherings connected to the Christmas and New Year s holidays could spread the virus if people drop their guards. We re hopeful that Michiganders do what we did over Thanksgiving, didn t travel as much, didn t gather as much, didn t contribute to as much spread, Whitmer said. And if that s the case, we could take more aggressive steps to reengage right after the first of the year.
