On Monday, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer unveiled her plan to slowly re-open Michigan called the "MI Safe Start Plan."
According to the state, the plan will be incremental and start with workplace types that pose less risk.
For example, the residential and commercial construction industry will likely be one of the first sectors to return to work.
Officials will continue to monitor the public health and measure success. It will also remain nimble enough to pull back if a spike in coronavirus cases is seen.
