MICHIGAN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE: State Issues Frequently Asked Question Document on Contact Tracing Order

Michigan chamber

Michigan Chamber of Commerce issued the following announcement.

The Michigan Department of Health & Human Services (MDHHS) issued a new Frequently Asked Question (FAQ) document related to its Face Masks and Gatherings Order, which requires, effective Nov. 2, all dine-in food service establishments to maintain accurate records of the names and phone numbers of patrons who purchase food for consumption on the premises and the date and time of entry.   The MDHHS previously required other entities to collect this information.

This includes barbering/cosmetology services and similar personal care services, recreational sports and exercise facilities, entertainment facilities and all businesses or operations that provide in-home services.

The FAQ answers question such as:

What organizations must provide the information?

What does the emergency order require these organizations to do?

How long do organizations need to keep this information?

Who do organizations have to provide the information to?

What will the data be used for?

Will this data be sold, or shared with commercial entities?

Will organizations need to submit all data to MDHHS or Local Health Departments on a routine basis?

Does MDHHS intend to share this information with other government entities?

For group activities, such as multiple members of a party dining at a restaurant, or attending a sporting event where one person has purchased the tickets for the group, must the organizer collect the contact information from every member of the party or just one person per party?

How should the data be collected?
