[Michlib-l] EO 2020-181

Wed Sep 16 15:39:36 EDT 2020

To clarify:

This 10 person restriction is the same one that has been in effect for a while in regions 1-5 & 7 (most of the state south of the top of the mitten).

ALL this 10 person limit applies to are situations where people congregate in close proximity – parties, meetings, programs, weddings, etc.

It DOES NOT apply to library occupancy overall.

Libraries in regions 1-5, & 7 are still under the occupancy restrictions in section 6 of E) 2020-175 (the workplace restrictions) that restrict libraries and retail to 25% of occupancy  for buildings with less than 50,000 sq ft of public space, and to 1 person per 100 sq ft  for those libraries  and retail with buildings of more than 50,000 sq ft of public space.

Libraries in regions 6 & 8 are exempt from the occupancy limitations in EO 2020-175, but must limit situations where people from different households  may get together for a shared activity.

Thanks!

I am confused by this.  Did she ever publicly announce this?

As an example, theaters (gyms, etc.) can be open, but we can only limit to 10 indoors at a time?

I have 9 staff at a branch, do I have to shut it down?  I am not cutting my staffs hours as they desperately need the money.  There is nothing they can do at home.

But sports and schools can be open (exempt)?

Can I just get some clarification on this.

Amber

Hello All:

Please note that my earlier e-mail (see below) indicated that the 10 person limit included people from the same households. This is incorrect, as it SHOULD read “people NOT from the same households.”

Here is a corrected version of  the information:

EO 2020-176 has been amended by EO 2020-181 to again include Regions 6 & 8 (The UP and the upper Mitten) within the restriction of 10 and under attendance for Social Gatherings and Organized Events:

“1. Subsection (d) is added to Section 8 of the Safe Start order (Executive Order 2020- 176), providing: “In Regions 6 and 8, an indoor social gathering or indoor organized event among persons not part of the same household is permitted provided that the gathering or event does not exceed 10 people and complies with https://www.michigan.gov/whitmer/0,9309,7-387-90499_90705-539530--,00.htmlthe<https://gcc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.michigan.gov%2Fwhitmer%2F0%2C9309%2C7-387-90499_90705-539530--%2C00.htmlthe&data=02%7C01%7CMembielaC%40michigan.gov%7C4c548be6af474b592c6f08d85a7604c8%7Cd5fb7087377742ad966a892ef47225d1%7C0%7C0%7C637358810221933102&sdata=SbbPdI0GkASt4B4IKH3OM21M0hkOtmhX4DT7wPiopuo%3D&reserved=0> social distancing requirement of subsection 6(a)(1) of this order.”

https://www.michigan.gov/whitmer/0,9309,7-387-90499_90705-539530--,00.html<https://gcc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.michigan.gov%2Fwhitmer%2F0%2C9309%2C7-387-90499_90705-539530--%2C00.html&data=02%7C01%7CMembielaC%40michigan.gov%7C4c548be6af474b592c6f08d85a7604c8%7Cd5fb7087377742ad966a892ef47225d1%7C0%7C0%7C637358810221943066&sdata=TCv79du5z%2FUYl01SHR1hWlPv%2BD%2BzUslZxz%2BqM1Kzw0I%3D&reserved=0>

Therefore, the entire state – ALL Public Libraries- must limit in-person gatherings of people NOT from the same household for social gatherings and organized events. This includes meetings, programs, Board Meetings, some meeting room activities, etc.

For information on the meaning of “social gathering or organized event” see the FAQ for EO 2020-176 located on the Executive Order page https://www.michigan.gov/coronavirus/0,9753,7-406-98178_98455-538942--,00.html<https://gcc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.michigan.gov%2Fcoronavirus%2F0%2C9753%2C7-406-98178_98455-538942--%2C00.html&data=02%7C01%7CMembielaC%40michigan.gov%7C4c548be6af474b592c6f08d85a7604c8%7Cd5fb7087377742ad966a892ef47225d1%7C0%7C0%7C637358810221943066&sdata=0Lmc8uLZZGrm0RzeCUwdSOCX2TbwoPQ5om9bVRJG5Yw%3D&reserved=0>
