Michigan COVID-19 Update
Michigan has worked hard to flatten the curve of COVID-19 cases. The state has progressed to phase 4 and Northern Michigan has entered phase 5 in Michigan six phases of re-engagement. We’re optimistic the entire state will enter phase 5 relatively soon (phase 6 is having immunity or a vaccine to COVID-19). The progress the state of Michigan has made slowing the spread of COVID-19 is a positive sign toward us hosting a great USA Masters Games in one year.
