From the Executive Director …

I have been attempting to get answers to the many questions the latest Emergency Order has created. The phone numbers don’t help much and I was able to get the following information from MDHHS today:

MDARD has created a link on the State web site to the public health order:
https://www.michigan.gov/coronavirus/0,9753,7-406-98158-535547–,00.html .

Information such as the FAQ , forms to request testing assistance and other documents are available on the State of Michigan Covid website, https://www.michigan.gov/coronavirus/0,9753,7-406-98178_101429—,00.html.  If you find yourself still having questions after reviewing the web materials, they should be directed to MDARD-COVID19@Michigan.gov. If MDARD can’t answer it, they will send it over to the appropriate DHHS staff for questions.

There really is not much help in the websites listed and I am trying to find a point person for questions in either MDHHS or MDARD. Neither seems to know how to answer the questions we have. I am still asking who from the industry helped them come up with their recommendations in the order. Please continue to send me your questions and suggestions that I can offer to the point person, when I get a contact.

Stay well,

Goeff
