More of Michigan’s economy will be reopening next week. Governor Whitmer says she’s signed a new executive order on that front.

“That includes construction work, real estate activities, and work that is primarily and traditionally performed outdoors,” said Whitmer

Residential and commercial construction will be allowed to resume on May 7, with some best practices put in place to protect workers from COVID-19.

“Practices that include things like designating a site supervisor to enforce COVID-19 control strategies; conducting daily health screenings of their employees; creating dedicated entry points if possible, or issuing stickers or indicators to ensure that all workers have been screened on a given day,” Whitmer explained.

Real estate will be able to resume, along with specific manufacturing for companies retooling to make items to protect the health of others.
