Mandatory masking remains in place for those who are experiencing respiratory symptoms, have received a positive COVID test result or who live with someone who has tested positive for COVID.
Additionally, caregivers at University of Michigan Health will continue to wear masks while providing direct care to patients, according to a release.
The move comes as at least 13 health systems across the state of Michigan have eased their mask requirements.
