Information from Governor Baker in Advance of Phase II Reopening
Dear Local Officials – Over the past several days, the attention of the Commonwealth and the nation has focused on serious issues of justice, racial equity, and public safety. These conversations are critically important. As we seek to address these issues, MAPC will also keep our cities and towns informed about details of Governor Baker’s COVID-19 reopening plan.
The Administration has asked us to forward these latest orders and guidance to you today, in preparation for Phase II of reopening. We expect additional guidance from the Governor later this week—and possibly related action by the Legislature.
The Administration expects to make a decision about when Phase II will begin on Saturday, June 6, after a review of the data, including numbers of infections, deaths, and hospitalizations. It could be as early as Monday, June 8. We will continue to keep you informed. Best regards,Marc D. DraisenExecutive DirectorClick here to read Governor Baker’s announcement
