LANSING, Mich. (WOOD) — On Wednesday, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer said she will be rolling back on executive orders on hospital capacity, emergency medial services and FOIA.
As part of the same announcement the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services has loosened restrictions on patient visitors in certain health care settings.
Whitmer said, “As we slowly and safely reopen our economy, it’s important to roll back emergency orders designed to deal with the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic. By rolling back executive orders, and allowing more people to visit their loved ones in hospitals, it sends a clear signal we are making progress in the fight against COVID-19 and continue to move in a positive direction.”
Robert Gordon, MDHHS Director issued an order that allows more visitors at hospitals, outpatient clinics and doctor’s offices.
