New Update on Massachusetts COVID-19 Restrictions

Governor Baker announced today, Thursday, January 21, that he is extending the sector-specific reduced capacity limits of 25% for an additional two-weeks. The extension will now continue until February 8th. 

On a more positive note, the 9:30 stay-at-home order issued by Governor Baker last November is now being rescinded. This means businesses will no longer be forced to close their doors early every night at 9:30 PM.
