High school graduations can have full crowds this year, and all baseball stadiums can be packed. Governor Gretchen Whitmer made that announcement Thursday at Dow Diamond in Midland.

“On June 1st, all outdoor capacity limits will be lifted,” says Whitmer.

That is part of her changes to the MI Vacc To Normal plan, with indoor capacity limits at 50% through the end of June. It is no longer four steps based on COVID-19 vaccination rates. The final step of removing the mask mandate takes effect July 1. Whitmer adds businesses can still require people wear masks and encouraged people to be patient with each other.
