LANSING — Michigan is lifting the remaining major restrictions from the coronavirus pandemic on Tuesday, marking the first time in 15 months without limits on gatherings.

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer on Thursday announced that restaurants and venues can return indoor capacity to 100 percent on that day from 50 percent, citing rapid decreases in COVID-19 cases and increases in vaccines.

The state also will no longer require face masks in public or indoors.
