Adrian, MI – The Michigan Supreme Court ruled that any COVID-19 pandemic executive orders issued by the Governor after April 30th were not supported by Michigan law, and today we have responses from the Lenawee County Health Department and Prosecuting Attorney.
Initial information regarding the ruling, from the Governor’s office, advised that these executive orders would remain in effect for 21 days after the ruling. However, the Lenawee County Prosecuting Attorney has advised that the Governor’s Executive Orders are no longer valid.
The Lenawee County Health Department said that there are, however, emergency orders, issued by the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services. These emergency orders require the wearing of face coverings, limit gatherings and require social distancing, as well as other measures to control the epidemic that still threatens our communities.
While the LCHD waits for unified pandemic guidance from Lansing, they are encouraging local businesses, organizations and educational institutions to continue to follow the COVID-19 preparedness plans they have instituted.
