LANSING, MI (AP)-- Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer’s administration has rescinded a rule limiting restaurant tables to no more than six people.
The move comes a day after she apologized for ignoring the COVID-19 regulation while gathering with friends at an East Lansing bar. The Democratic governor has said tables at the Landshark Bar & Grill were pushed together as more people arrived in her party of fully vaccinated people.
A revised order no longer includes the six-patrons-per-table provision, effective June 1. The state health department issued it Monday.
Whitmer last week had announced the planned easing of capacity restrictions but didn't specify if other changes were coming.
