"This was a great opportunity to see firsthand how Michigan's small businesses are getting back to work safely and responsibly," said Governor Whitmer. "I had a fun time learning from the stylists at Reflections about the precautions they are taking to keep their staff and customers safe, and they made sure to put me to work. We're not out of the woods yet, but if we all keep doing our part, I know we can build a Michigan that is safer and stronger for everyone."
