Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has signed a new Executive Order requiring masks in indoor public spaces and crowded outdoor spaces as COVID-19 cases spike in the state.

Executive Order 2020-147 reiterates that individuals are required to wear a face covering whenever they are in an indoor public space. It also requires the use of face coverings in crowded outdoor spaces, where you cannot maintain proper social distancing.

The order requires any business that is open to the public to refuse entry or service to people who refuse to wear a face covering, with limited exceptions.

Under the governor’s order, businesses that are open to the public must refuse entry and service to individuals who fail to comply, and must post signs at all entrances instructing customers of their legal obligation to wear a face covering while inside.

Those who are exempt from wearing a mask in Michigan businesses include people younger than five years old, those who cannot medically tolerate a face covering, and those who are eating or drinking while seated at a food service establishment.

The executive order takes effect at 12:01am on Monday, July 13.

A willful violation of the order is a misdemeanor subject to a $500 criminal penalty, but no term of confinement may be imposed on individuals who violate the mask requirement. No individual is subject to penalty under the order for removing a mask while engaging in religious worship at a house of religious worship, although consistent with guidance from the CDC, congregants are strongly encouraged to wear face coverings during religious services.

Executive Order 2020-147 reinforces and expands upon the governor’s previous executive orders on “safely restarting Michigan’s economy and ensuring workplace safety.”

“The heroes on the front lines of this crisis have gone hours without taking their masks off every day – doctors, nurses, child care workers, grocery store workers. We owe it to them to wear our masks when we’re on a trip to the grocery store or pharmacy,” said Governor Whitmer. “Masks can reduce the chance of spreading COVID-19 by about 70 percent. By wearing masks, we can save lives and protect our family, friends, and neighbors from the spread of COVID-19. And by wearing masks now, we can put our state in a stronger position so our kids can return to school safely in the fall. For the sake of your loved ones, let’s all mask up, Michigan.”

Gov. Whitmer said on Thursday that the state was considering tightening mask rules as COVID-19 cases continue to rise in the state.

“Over the past week, we have seen an uptick in COVID-19 cases in Michigan, and over the holiday weekend, we saw countless Michiganders gathered in large groups to celebrate Fourth of July without a mask,” Whitmer said. “I think a lot of people saw this video footage from Cass County, Diamond Lake. Right now, the law requires that anyone in an enclosed public space has to wear a mask, and that means every store you’re going into. We’re reviewing that requirement and considering whether or not we need to take this a step further, to strengthen compliance, because we cannot let our guard down.”

“The data is not looking so good,” said Dr. Joneigh S. Khaldun, the chief medical executive and chief deputy director for health for the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services.

Khaldun said the situation isn’t as extreme as it was in the spring, but Michigan needs to “get back on track” to avoid the cases escalating further.

Whitmer compared Michigan’s spike with the much larger increases in many southern states.

“We cannot afford to play fast and loose with the rules, and just look at what’s happening with Florida,” Whitmer said. “It took less than two weeks for Florida to go from 100,000 to 200,000 positive cases, and the cases there are still climbing. Last week, they reported over 11,000 cases in one day. That can happen very quickly anywhere in this country if we drop our guard. Statewide, one in five cases are patients that are between the ages of 25 and 34. So, youth will not protect you from caring and spreading this virus to your friends and family and neighbors. We have got to all work together to protect one another.”

Whitmer said wearing a mask can reduce the chance of spreading the coronavirus by about 70%.

Governors in the states of Kansas, Maine, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Washington have imposed similar requirements on businesses.

She's such a piece of work. I'm going to make my masks out of mosquito netting and lace. I absolutely CANNOT breathe in a mask.

Had to take my Uncle to the ER on Wednesday and was there with him until he was admitted. Thought I was going to wind up in there myself! Five and a half hours about did me in. No joke.

This Halfwhitmer needs to go!

I'm going to assume that 'some outdoor spaces' does not apply to protest/riot zones? And why are you fining people for not wearing a mask but not fining them for destroying property? We all know that carrying a protest sign gives covid immunity because the virus has morphed and is now 'woke', why not just make an executive order that people have to carry signs?

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm. She can decree this all she wants. But she absolutely doesn't have the means to enforce it. Viginia has the same mandatory mask order.......

and a LOT of new "outlaws" who aren't even running afoul of the Karen police force.

OH HEY... and weren't we assured that the summer heat would make the virus go away?
What's up with that? (We've had a month of 90s around here.)

She's making the stores do the mandate, like Menards. Meijer's just sent out a text and an email.

But that wasn’t considering all the social destruction protests going on. People gathering by the 10’s of thousands. And the commie left and their propaganda news networks sanctioned it. But let the right have a Trump rally .... nooooo your gonna kill everyone.

Wiggle room to prosecute who she deems in violation of her law. Why don't you prosecute bldm? Well, they're protesters not an assembly of Trump supporters. Wiggle room to apply the law unequally. Our nation was founded upon equal treatment under the law no matter who you are. Remember the Ds saying, "No one is above the law"? Yeah, it's bullsh*t. It's going to be anarchy permanently if a D wins the Presidency. It will be anarchy for a while when DJT is re-elected but we'll come through it ok I believe.

The masks are all about fear. They know that seeing many people wearing masks instills fear. The more fear the easier to control the people. Also the more fear the greater chance that people will vote for someone other than Trump (they think).

I can't help but wonder, though, if it's wonderful equipment for going gray. No one thinks twice about the mask wearer. The government thinks you're submitting. But are you really submitting?
Oh, the old "Double Fake Out!" I tried the sheet with eyes cut in it and the greetings were less than stellar.

Just about everyone here on the forum has learned the masks won't work because the virus is way smaller than the large porous holes in any mask made or thats available to the general consumer on the street.
The Virus in question is smaller than one micron in size ( 0.1) and the surgery masks will filter out particles of about 7.0 or 6.0 or may stop particles down to 5.0 microns in size.

Yep; I see her theory and raise her reality. Every store across the state line has signs on the door, proclaiming masks are mandatory inside the store. And my numbers of compliant public stand. The STORE doesn't have enough people to enforce it either - and fact is, many of the employees wouldn't wear one, except it's now store policy to work there.

The argument is being made, that wearing a mask is demonstrating consideration for others - and social responsibility. <insert Xtreme eye roll until I'm looking out my ass>

And being gray is exactly why I have a mask in my purse at all times.

They’re conditioning us for the stay at home ballots this fall. They are setting stage for the coup of overthrowing Trump ... and us. The more they can manipulate us, the more they can shut us down. That’s all I’ve heard the last 2 days here ... a lot ... the new normal. And this is coming from some conservative people. I scream at the radio when I hear it .... IT’S NOT ... unless you let them control you.

let’s be real ... this virus is not going away ... until they have us under complete submission.
