(undated) – There are no plans to reissue a statewide mask mandate. That from Governor Charlie Baker, who said a statewide ban is NOT something he is considering. Baker said the presence of vaccines and better testing has put the commonwealth in a better position than when the original mandate was ordered. Baker also announced a major COVID-19 testing initiative, which will see Massachusetts distribute over 2.1 million free COVID-19 rapid at-home tests to 102 communities across the state.
