While some progress has been made in the fight against COVID-19, the virus is still circulating and causing illness, death, and economic hardship. In Michigan, the number of new cases and deaths has declined since the peak in early April, but case counts have begun to increase again in recent weeks. The risk of severe illness from COVID-19 remains, particularly for people who are 65 years and older or who have underlying health conditions.
As we continue to fight the pandemic, it is important to resume certain activities in a way that minimizes the risk of spreading COVID-19. This document provides guidance on when indoor sports can resume in Michigan.
