(BOSTON)– We will know on Saturday the exact date when Phase 2 of the reopening of Massachusetts will begin, Governor Charlie Baker said on Wednesday. Phase 2 of the governor’s gradual four-phase reopening plan allows restaurants, retail stores, malls, lodging facilities, day care centers, amateur sports and summer camps to reopen, but only with several restrictions.
“We’ve made significant progress in fighting COVID, and more people are opening businesses,” Baker said. “But as more things reopen and as we get into summer, we must all remember how quickly we move forward will ultimately depend on how well we do our jobs in covering our faces, washing our hands and surfaces and distancing from others.”
The earliest Phase 2 can begin is June 8.
