Michigan’s economic recovery takes a major step forward on Monday and moves into “Phase Four” of the MI Safe Start Plan, which Gov. Whitmer unveiled last month with the Michigan Economic Recovery Council. As we enter Phase Four, it means that COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations are clearly declining. Staying home remains the safest option, but the state is gradually resuming many in-person work and activities as long as social distancing measures continue. Join Sandy K. Baruah, president and CEO of the Chamber and Brad Williams, vice president of Government Relations for the Chamber for a discussion translating the new Phase Four rules. Baruah and Williams will breakdown the changes and their impact on employers, employees, and consumers. Participants will have the option to submit questions during the discussion.
