Gyms, Movie Theaters, Bowling Alleys, Ice Rinks (Michigan Governor to normalize re-opening) September 2020

 from article in Detroit Free Press = www.freep.com/ 

Fitness centers, theaters, bowling alleys, ice rinks and related facilities — ordered closed for more than five months during the coronavirus pandemic — are expected to get the OK this week from Gov. Gretchen Whitmer to reopen after the Labor Day holiday (next Monday is Labor Day / September 7).

An announcement could come as soon as Wednesday, the Free Press has learned.

Though the situation remains fluid and is subject to change based on factors such as a sudden spike in case numbers, Whitmer is expected this week to finally give a green light for the businesses and facilities to reopen, subject to social distancing and sanitation safety protocols and new requirements intended to facilitate contact tracing in the event of an infection, according to one person with close knowledge of discussions.

Most of the affected facilities have been ordered closed since March 21, 2020 in south and central Michigan, but have been able to open in the Upper Peninsula and northern Lower Peninsula since June 10.
