Dearborn Evaluating Next Steps Now That Stay Home Order Rescinded

Press release from the City of Dearborn:

As of noon on June 2, the City of Dearborn is evaluating what the next steps to take in light of Gov. Whitmer’s decision on June 1 to rescind the state of Michigan’s Stay Home, Stay Safe order.

The City will post updates on www.cityofdearborn.org, on City of Dearborn Government Facebook and other social media, and via the news media.

Before more services become available, and more facilities open, a careful plan to protect the safety and health of employees and residents must be in place and executed. The plan has been in development for some time, but the

Governor’s June 1 decision was not expected. Her previous order was set to expire June 12.

Essential city services have been provided throughout the pandemic. As more activities are allowed under the Governor’s directive, the city must move forward purposefully, but with caution.

“We are proceeding with care to ensure when we open buildings, and reinstate more city services, we are prioritizing your health,” said Mayor John B. O’Reilly, Jr. “We are here to serve you for the long term, and to do so effectively, we must first give you and our employees the tools and protocols to stay safe for the long term.”
