When in any indoor public space; this includes all students in grades kindergarten through twelve; and b. When outdoors and unable to consistently maintain a distance of six feet or more from individuals who are not members of their household; and c. When waiting for or riding on public transportation, while in a taxi or ride-sharing vehicle, school bus or when using a private car service as a means of hired transportation.... Such measures will be enforced, and any violations are subject to citation and penalties as outlined in the Michigan Public Health Code.
