ANN ARBOR AREA REOPENING UPDATES

Click Here: For Our COVID-19 BUSINESS TOOLKIT

Updated June 14, 2021 - As always, our region remains committed to the health and safety of all our residents and visitors. It is our top priority. We want current and future travelers to feel as safe and informed as possible. As you venture out and begin enjoying all of the wonderful things the Ann Arbor area has to offer, we ask that you practice social distancing, follow the recommended health guidelines and be respectful of others.

Michigan has lifted the mask requirements for most indoor and outdoor settings, for fully vaccinated residents. While indoors, fully vaccinated Michiganders will no longer need to wear a mask, but residents who are not vaccinated, or have not completed their vaccinations, must continue to wear a mask or face covering to protect themselves and others. Some businesses and local communities may still have mask requirements. The mask mandate will go away entirely on July 1.

 

What is open?
