LANSING, MI (AP)-- Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has ordered the Upper Peninsula back to phase four of her reopening plan, pointing to a surge of coronavirus cases.
The move, which takes effect Oct. 9, will leave just the Traverse City region as the only part of the state in phase five.
In phase four, Upper Peninsula residents who can work remotely will be required to do so, and crowd sizes at social gatherings and organized events will have to be smaller. Also, K-12 students will have to wear a mask in class.
