Reacting to the recent improving trends in COVID-19 infections and hospitalizations three weeks into the new year, Governor Charlie Baker announced today the elimination of the 9:30 PM business curfew that many businesses have currently been operating under.  Since November 6th, all alcohol sellers had been required to stop selling alcohol at 9:30 PM, restaurants had been limited to takeout and delivery only after that hour, and many other recreation related businesses were required to close.  Those restrictions end effective at 5:00 AM on Monday, January 25th
 
The Governor also announced the extension of the current capacity and gathering restrictions for another two weeks.  Industry restrictions for capacity limits and reduced gatherings initially went into effect on Saturday, December 26th, and are now extended to February 8th.  Click here for more information on the current limits.
