Gov. Baker: Changes in Reopening as MA Enters Phase III, Step II


Indoor/outdoor Performance Venues Open, Dressing Room & Food Court Restrictions Relaxed

 
Governor Charlie Baker said today that the state is moving forward in the Reopening Massachusetts process, announcing that effective Monday, October 5th, low-risk communities will be permitted to advance into Phase III, Step II.
 
Low-risk communities are those with low COVID-19 transmission rates, as determined by the state and published regularly on the state’s website.  Cities or towns that have been designated "red" in the MA Department of Public Health's (DPH) color-coded system will not be permitted to proceed with Step II.
 
Specific guidance and detailed updates to the state’s protocols will be released later this week, updated and posted to the Sector specific protocols and best practices homepage.
 
Highlighted changes, in Step II, include:

  • Dressing/fitting rooms will be permitted to open in all types of retail stores
  • Food court seating in malls to reopen (expected to follow existing restaurant sector protocols)
  • Indoor performance venues will be permitted to open with 50% capacity (max 250)
  • Outdoor performance venue capacity will increase to 50% (max 250)
  • For arcades and indoor and outdoor recreation businesses, additional Step II activities like trampolines, obstacle courses, roller rinks, etc., permitted to open at 50% capacity
