MDHHS Follows the CDC in Lifting Mask Requirement for the Fully Vaccinated in Michigan

According to an updated Gathering & Face Mask Order from Friday, May 15, Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) is to align with the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s latest guidance on face coverings. The new order will effect on Saturday, May 15 at 9 a.m. Under the updated MDHHS Gatherings and Mask Order, Michiganders who are outdoors will no longer need to wear a mask regardless of vaccination status. 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. After July 1, the broad indoor mask mandate will expire. Read more here. This means those who are vaccinated can visit movie theatres or sing in a chorus, to name a few safe activities that one can partake in. The CDC has published a guide to "Choosing Safer Activities." You can read it here. 

NIVA Announces 'Safe In Sound: A Reopening Checklist for the Live Entertainment Industry'

Restaurant Revitalization Fund - Unable to Fulfill $36 billion in applications

According to this report, the plethora of applications for the Restaurant Revitalization Fund have surpassed the allotted $28.6 billion in grant funds. There is an exception: the SBA is keeping its application portal open for restaurants with 2019 annual revenue of $50,000 or less because the administration "still has potential funding available" for these operators. There is a discussion of refilling the fund. We will keep you updated.

To Recap:

The American Rescue Plan Act established the Restaurant Revitalization Fund (RRF) to provide funding to help restaurants and other eligible businesses keep their doors open. This program will provide restaurants with funding equal to their pandemic-related revenue loss up to $10 million per business and no more than $5 million per physical location. Recipients are not required to repay the funding as long as funds are used for eligible uses no later than March 11, 2023. Read more in detail about the program.

Who are the priority groups?

• A small business concern that is at least 51 percent owned by one or more individuals who are:
  • Women, or
  • Veterans, or
  • Socially and economically disadvantaged (see below).
• Applicants must self-certify on the application that they meet eligibility requirements.
• Socially disadvantaged individuals are those who have been subjected to racial or ethnic prejudice or cultural bias because of their identity as a member of a group without regard to their individual qualities.
• Economically disadvantaged individuals are those socially disadvantaged individuals whose ability to compete in the free enterprise system has been impaired due to diminished capital and credit opportunities as compared to others in the same business area who are not socially disadvantaged.

Consider applying for the PPP Loan, if you qualify, before money runs out. Many are reporting the application as fairly straight-forward and short. We have heard from CTAs that services such as Blue Acorns can facilitate and streamline the application process.
