According to the Detroit Free Press, Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has exempted churches, synagogues, mosques, and temples from being penalized with a misdemeanor if they violate the rule to keep assemblies under 50 people in the midst of the growing coronavirus outbreak.
“On Monday, Whitmer issued an executive order in response to coronavirus that said ‘all assemblages of more than 50 people in a single indoor shared space and all events of more than 50 people are prohibited,'” the Detroit Free Press reported. “Later in the week, the order was updated to add a part that reads: ‘A place of religious worship is not subject to penalty under section 3 of Executive Order 2020-11.’ Section three of the original order said that ‘a willful violation of this order shall constitute a misdemeanor.'”
