LANSING,

Executive
Order

which
makes
clear

personal
care
services
must
temporarily
close.
These
services
include
hair,
nail,
tanning,
massage,
spa,
tattoo,
body art
and
piercing
services,
and
similar
services
that
require
individuals
to be
within 6
feet of
each
other.
This
order
does not
apply to
services
necessary
for
medical
treatment
as
determined
by a
licensed
medical
provider.
The
order
also
reaffirms
the
other
temporary
closures
of
places
of
public
accommodation
that
were
required
by
Executive
Order

order
takes
effect
no later

March 22
at 9
a.m. and

"COVID-19
has
created
an
unprecedented
challenge
to our
way of
life as
Michiganders,"
said
Gov.
Whitmer.
"That's
why we
are
making
decisions
based on
science
and
facts to
protect
public
health
and keep
people
safe. I
know
these
changes
will be
hard,
but they
are
temporary,
and they
are
necessary
to slow
the
spread
of the
virus
and help
save
lives."

reportedly
had mild
