(SALEM) — Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker says the state will not issue any mandates regarding Halloween celebrations, but instead will leave decisions to cities and towns. However, Baker says he does have an opinion on the issue.
“People ought not have indoor gathering with their friends and neighbors”, Baker said. “I’ve had a number of people tell me they’ve been invited to those kinds of gatherings. Most years at Halloween? I understand why and it makes sense. This is not one of those years.”
Baker is urging people who chose to celebrate to do so outside, use proper face coverings, and observe strict social distancing.
