Dr. Joneigh S. Khaldun, above, chief medical executive and chief deputy director for health for the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, announced last week that amended epidemic orders would allow indoor activities where visitors can remain masked, as this has been shown to slow the virus. This includes in-person learning at high schools and indoor entertainment venues. Casinos, bowling centers and movie theatres will be allowed to reopen with capacity capped at 100; food and drink concessions closed and social distancing requirements in place. The new order became effective Monday, Dec. 21.
