To be clear: COVID-19 restrictions imposed upon the State of Michigan through December 20 close entertainment facilities such as our own Emagine Theatre.

Further reporting from mLive today stated that Department of Health and Human Services Director Robert Gordon “said indoor venues where people can remain masked will be the first to reopen, citing movie theaters, bowling alleys and casinos as possible examples. However, Gordon said these businesses likely won’t be allowed to offer food and drink because people must remove their masks to enjoy concessions.”
