ANNOUNCEMENT FROM THE TOWNSHIP BOARD:
On Monday, October 6, 2020, The state Department of Health and Human Services (MDHSS) Emergency Order reinstates face covering mandate, gathering limits.
With continued questions about the impact of last week’s state Supreme Court order essentially invalidating the governor’s COVID-19-related executive orders, the state Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) yesterday released an order reinstating aspects of the governor’s orders. The MDHHS order was released following MTA’s email guidance to members yesterday afternoon.
MDHHS Emergency Order, “Gathering Prohibition and Mask Order,” issued under MCL 333.2253, largely reinstates three major aspects of prior emergency orders:
1) Requirements to wear masks at indoor and outdoor gatherings: The order requires individuals to wear masks at indoor and outdoor non-residential gatherings, and requires businesses and government offices to enforce mask-wearing requirements on their premises. The order also requires the wearing of masks at schools, except in Region 6, encompassing 17 northern Michigan counties.
2) Limitations on the size of gatherings: Similar to the previous expansion of gatherings announced last week, under the MDHHS order, indoor gatherings of more than 10 and up to 500 people occurring at a non-residential venue are permitted within the following limits:
- Attendance is limited to 20 people per 1,000 square feet (25 people per 1,000 square feet in Region 6), in venues without fixed seating.
- In venues with fixed seating, limit attendance to 20% of normal capacity. In Region 6, gatherings up to 25% of normal capacity are permitted.
- Non-residential outdoor gatherings of between 100 and 1,000 persons at venues with fixed seating are permitted at up to 30% of normal capacity, and at 30 persons per 1,000 square feet at venues without fixed seating.
3) Limitations on certain establishments: The order requires bars to close indoor common areas where people can congregate, dance or otherwise mingle. Indoor gatherings are prohibited anywhere alcoholic beverages are sold except for table services where parties are separated from one another by at least six feet.
The order also requires athletes training or practicing for or competing in an “organized sport” to wear a facial covering except when consistently maintaining six feet of social distance. Swimming is exempt from this requirement.
Swanton Memorial Center: Hall rentals remain under suspension until further notice.
Please contact the Township Office at 989-689-3655 if you have questions.
