Yet, Michigan is experiencing a third wave of COVID-19 cases that many of the least-restrictive states have avoided.
WalletHub’s 13 metrics include the following: requirements to wear a face mask in public, travel restrictions, restrictions on large gatherings, school reopening and restaurant reopenings.
