LANSING, MI - Michigan residents will be required to wear face coverings upon entering a grocery store or pharmacy through May 30.

The requirement is part of an executive order signed Saturday, May 2 by Gov. Gretchen Whitmer which extends existing safety measures to protect consumers and employees from spreading the coronavirus at grocery stores and pharmacies.

Along with ordering customers to wear face masks, the mandate also requires grocery stores and pharmacies to allocate at least two hours per week of shopping time for vulnerable populations until May 30.

**SNIP**

“We must continue protecting the health and safety of both consumers and employees at our grocery stores and pharmacies, which we rely on more than ever during this unprecedented public health crisis,” Whitmer said in a released statement. “Michigan has begun flattening the COVID-19 curve, but we must not take our progress for granted and continue taking aggressive action to avoid further spread of this deadly disease.”

The order affects all food-selling establishments, which includes grocery stores, convenience stores, restaurants that sell groceries or food available for takeout, and any other business that sells food, according to the mandate.

Halfwit is going to hand Michigan to Trump. IMO

Well, since Bruce Jenner is/was a republican, maybe now that he is undercover governor of Michigan this was all a plot with the Russian colluders. Look for mail-in ballots postmarked from Moscow, Idaho to prove the conspiracy. Rachel Maddow will cover this story for at least a week after the election.

Stores can require their customers to wear face masks. But, the government can’t require that stores make their customers wear face masks.

According to the Surgeon General, the CDC and the WHO face masks are contra indicated for the general population. Those who demand you wear face masks are anti science.

Putting all the old people together at one time makes no sense at all except for tracking.

I live in Michigan and did my grocery shopping today with no mask. No one said a word. There were a couple others without as well.

“And what excuse will be given on May 30 for extending the asinine so-called “protection guidelines” yet again? And June 30? And July 31? And Labor Day? And Thanksgiving? And Christmas?”

EXACTLY. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4OcM23Hbs5U

A decent education stressing civics, American history, STEM and so forth starting in the 4th grade - but sadly not found in most schools and curricula. Until the above is common to all schools, its tin pots and worse.

“I can’t stand these mask people.”

There are a bunch of them here. They love the TSA too.
