An expansive new set of restrictions went into effect over the weekend in Michigan, including restrictions on the sale of certain items, drawing a rebuke from elected officials.
The order requires big box stores like Walmart and Target to shut down sections dedicated to items that are considered nonessential, including flooring, furniture, gardening, paint, gardening supplies, and others. Michigan residents are also no longer permitted to visit friends or relatives, or their second homes, and they cannot visit vacation rentals in the state.
