MA Enters Phase Three of Reopening Plan on Monday, July 6th

 

Gov. Charlie Baker announced today that Phase Three of the Reopening Massachusetts plan will begin on Monday July 6th, allowingfor gyms, museums, movie theaters and more to resume some operations, with continued social distancing, face-covering and increased hygiene practices in place.  Phase Three will "last significantly longer than the other phases," according to Gov. Baker, and will be divided in two steps. 
 
With the beginning of Phase Three, the retail sector guidance will be updated to allow for an increase in occupancy to 50%.  The new guidance is also expected to allow for increased use of general dressing and fitting rooms, with requirements of removing garments and frequent cleaning in place.  The new retail guidance will be updated and posted to the retail sector-specific safety protocols and recommended best practices over the weekend.
 
All businesses must continue to comply with the Mandatory Safety Standards for Workplaces
 

Also in Phase Three, restrictions on indoor gatherings will be capped at eight people per 1,000 square feet with a maximum of 25, while outdoor enclosed gatherings will be limited to 25 percent of permitted capacity with a maximum of 100.

 
All members are encouraged to closely review the new Phase Three guidance to ensure compliance in advance of July 6th.
