Gretchen Whitmer is shutting down indoor bar services throughout most of the state amid a spike in coronavirus (COVID-19) cases. Whitmers announcement comes as the number of confirmed cases linked to an outbreak at Harpers Restaurant and Brew Pub in East Lansing continue to rise. On Wednesday, health officials confirmed 138 positive COVID-19 cases have been linked to the bar, including 119 people who were customers there between June 12 and June 20. As bars have reopened for indoor service across the country, some have been linked to a growing number of large outbreaks. Health experts said bars are often crowded and poorly ventilated, which makes the spread of COVID-19 much more likely.
