MDHHS issues Emergency Order designed to protect the health and safety of all Michiganders DIRECTIVE RESTRICTS GATHERINGS, REQUIRES FACE COVERINGS, LIMITS BARS AND OTHER VENUES

Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) Director Robert Gordon issued an Emergency Order under MCL 333.2253 restricting gathering sizes, requiring face coverings in public spaces and places limitations on bars and other venues Monday, Oct. 5.

The order follows the Michigan Supreme Court decision Friday, Oct 2, that invalidated COVID-19 related executive orders. Monday’s order relies on authorities that were first enacted after the Spanish Flu of 1918, and that were not at issue in the Michigan Supreme Court’s decision.

Under MCL 333.2253, if the MDHHS director determines that control of an epidemic is necessary to protect the public health, the director by emergency order may prohibit the gathering of people for any purpose and may establish procedures to be followed during the epidemic to ensure continuation of essential public health services and enforcement of health laws.

Violations of this order are punishable by a misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment for not more than six months or a fine of not more than $200, or both. Violations of this order are also punishable by a civil fine of up to $1,000.

Monday’s orders largely reinstate, under the department’s authority, three major aspects of prior emergency orders:

Requirements to wear masks at indoor and outdoor gatherings: The order requires individuals to wear masks when in gatherings, defined as any occurrence where persons from multiple households are present in a shared space in a group of two or more, and requires businesses and government offices to enforce those requirements for gatherings on their premises. The order also requires the wearing of masks at schools, except for in Michigan Economic Recovery Council Region 6.

Limitations on the size of gatherings: The order reinstates limitations on gathering sizes that mirror the requirements that Governor Whitmer had previously put in place. These include indoor gatherings of more than 10 and up to 500 people occurring at a non-residential venue are permitted within the following limits: in venues with fixed seating, limit attendance to 20% of normal capacity; however, gatherings up to 25% of normal capacity are permitted in Michigan Economic Recovery Council Region 6; in venues without fixed seating, limit attendance to 20 persons per 1,000 square feet in each occupied room; however, gatherings of up to 25 persons per 1,000 square feet are permitted in Michigan Economic Recovery Council Region 6; nonresidential outdoor gatherings of between 100 and 1,000 persons at venues with fixed seating are permitted at up to 30% of normal capacity and at 30 persons per 1,000 square feet at venues without fixed seating.

Although the order does not close bars, it requires them to close indoor common areas where people can congregate, dance or otherwise mingle. Indoor gatherings are prohibited anywhere alcoholic beverages are sold except for table services where parties are separated from one another by at least 6 feet.

In addition, athletes training or practicing for or competing in an organized sport must wear a facial covering, except when swimming, or consistently maintain 6 feet of social distance.

Pursuant to MCL 333.2235(1), local health departments are authorized to carry out and enforce the terms of this order. Law enforcement officers, as defined in the Michigan Commission on Law Enforcement Standards Act, 1965 Public Act 203, MCL 28.602(f), are deemed to be “department representatives” for purposes of enforcing this order, and are specifically authorized to investigate potential violations of this order. They may coordinate as necessary with the appropriate regulatory entity and enforce this order within their jurisdiction.

This order is effective immediately and remains in effect through Friday, Oct. 30. Individuals with suggestions and concerns are invited to submit comments via email to COVID19@michigan.gov.

HOROSCOPE OCTOBER 8-14, 2020 AS INTERPRETED BY SANDY “STAR” BENDT

ARIES MARCH 21—APRIL 19 The vibe coming in this week can be tricky. On one hand you need to work closely with others and cooperate to succeed, but on the other, working closely with people can be a huge source of stress now. Be aware of that chip on your shoulder and accept the challenge of working things out.

TAURUS APRIL 20—MAY 20 Take some time to pull back and get away from domineering people and situations. Be aware that it will be easy to feel like others are asking too much of you or that they are encroaching on your territory. Channel your emotions into creative projects or taking care of things at home.

GEMINI MAY 21—JUNE 21 There will be a lot of misinformation and gossip to muddle through this week and your interpretation of events may be counter to how others perceive things. Be aware that the pitfalls and difficulties are happening to help you achieve an emotional breakthrough; not fun but beneficial.

CANCER JUNE 22—JULY 22 Work relationships can get unstable or cut throat this week and it will be easy to fall into an aggressive competitive mode. Avoid over doing things or causing more strife by gossiping. Create harmony by keeping things lighthearted and being part of a team, not a one man show.

LEO JULY 23—AUGUST 22 There is a confrontational vibe coupling with the sense that you’re doing things on your own this week, which will make it seem like you need to be very assertive to succeed. Whereas this is the time to spread your wings and display your power, do so in a gentle and inclusive way.

VIRGO AUGUST 23—SEPTEMBER 22 Take some time to reconnect with your journey, talents and purposes this week. Avoid getting involved in other people’s drama or financial situations. Even if you experience financial shifts this week, this is not the time to involve other people or turn your focus away from your own issues.

LIBRA SEPTEMBER 23—OCTOBER 22 The energy this week can get quite heavy and you may feel like your being left out or are having to face the depth of some issue on your own. The real opportunity this week comes when you ask for help and let others be more involved with you, rather than forging ahead alone.

SCORPIO OCTOBER 23—NOVEMBER 21 Be aware that you may get some bad news this week. There is a good chance you will be told something is ending or that some longstanding tradition must come to an end. That doesn’t mean that relationships are ending, just the way things have been proceeding will undergo a transformation.

SAGITTARIUS NOVEMBER 22—DECEMBER 21 The energy radiating towards you this week can feel quite contentious. Arguments and quarrels between friends or social groups are likely to erupt. Rather than putting yourself at odds with others by picking a side, take the position of negotiator and root your efforts in Agape love.

CAPRICORN DECEMBER 22—JANUARY 19 When faced with major decisions or emotional entanglements, pay attention to what you are saying and doing. The solutions or answers to issues are already before you. Follow the advice you would give others to defuse situations, rather than letting them explode and involve more people.

AQUARIUS JANUARY 20—FEBRUARY 18 Pay attention to things this week. There is a bit of foreshadowing or forewarning taking place and you don’t want to miss any clues as to how to handle disruptions later this month. Any harsh words or provocative innuendos should be categorized and inspected before shrugging them off.

PISCES FEBRUARY 19—MARCH 20 Be aware that you may be misreading a situation due to too many outside influences. This is the time to shut out the chatter boxes and listen to your inner voice. The allimportant inner dialogue is best heard in silence. Release the need to follow others and go for authenticity.

Alan cherished his family and the time he spent with them, especially his “grandchildren”, who called him “Grampuncle”, with whom every moment was full of adventure, laughter and boundless love. His greatest loves were his three little puppies, Scooter, Rufus and MayMay, whom he credited with making him a better human being. He had a way with people and made them feel like they were the most important person in the room. He had a larger than life personality that brought joy and humor to everyone and everything he encountered.

He found great pleasure and peace walking the Michigan lakeshore searching for crinoids and sea glass. He felt the same way about the buying, selling and trading of most everything. His instinctual appreciation for art and design were refined at the School of The Art Institute of Chicago.

Alan will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
