an Emergency Order</a> under section 2253 of the Public Health Code restricting gathering sizes, requiring face coverings in public spaces and childcare facilities, placing capacity limitations on stores, bars and other public venues and providing for safer
workplaces.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">“Our goal is to maintain policies that have made a drastic difference in the fight against COVID-19,” Gordon said. “Cases are rising, and the science is clear. Masks reduce the spread
of COVID-19. Social distancing reduces the spread of COVID-19. Public action is critical to saving Michiganders’ lives.”</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">Today’s order comes under a legal authority enacted by the Michigan Legislature after the Spanish Flu of 1918 specifically to deal with epidemics. That statute was not at issue in
the Supreme Court’s ruling last week.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">The order completes the major elements of the department’s efforts to align orders under its own authority with actions taken by Gov. Gretchen Whitmer that were successful in combatting
the spread of COVID-19. Compared to Monday’s order, new provisions today provide for capacity limits in businesses, masks in childcare centers, added protections for workers, and requirements for contact tracing.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
