MI Safe Start: Communities of Faith
As locations begin the process of reopening or scaling up after their initial response to COVID-19, certain actions will be inherently more protective of their staff and the general public. This document provides guidance that should be followed regardless of the current level of COVID-19 transmission, and additional measures that can be scaled depending on local levels of COVID-19 transmission and the protective measures desired. This document is to assist in making choices that best align for public health protection, business operations, and laws. Businesses are responsible for complying with all executive orders; this document does not supersede the executive order or other laws.
