The Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Administration (MIOSHA) [filed COVID-19 emergency rules](https://www.michigan.gov/documents/leo/MIOSHA_COVID_Emergency_Rules_726100_7.pdf?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery) to align with [Federal OSHA's Emergency Temporary Standard](https://www.osha.gov/sites/default/files/covid-19-healthcare-ets-reg-text.pdf?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery) (ETS) on June 22, with the updated rules taking effect immediately and expiring on Dec. 22, 2021.

[The updated MIOSHA emergency rules](https://www.michigan.gov/leo/0,5863,7-336-78396_78398-562322--,00.html?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery) adopt the Federal OSHA ETS and focus on health care settings where known or suspected COVID-19 patients may be present. These workplaces may have a higher exposure risk for employees and need continued protections to mitigate the spread of COVID-19.

Dialing back workplace rules for non-health care settings allows employers to use their best judgment in determining whether to maintain:

- Daily health screenings;
-  Face covering requirements; and
- Social distancing requirements.
