Phase 2 of Massachusetts’ reopening plan begins Monday. Here’s what to know.
The second phase of Massachusetts’ four-phase reopening plan amid the coronavirus pandemic will begin Monday, June 8, Gov. Charlie Baker announced Saturday.
“This terrible virus and the terrible toll that it takes will be with us until there are medical breakthroughs with respect to treatments or vaccines,” Baker said. “But thanks to your hard work and
your sacrifices, we’re bringing the fight to the virus and we’re moving forward, and Massachusetts is continuing to reopen.”
As of Friday, 102,557 total cases of coronavirus and 7,235 related deaths were recorded in Massachusetts.
Baker’s announcement Saturday came after his administration outlined steps for reopening additional sectors of the economy and activities earlier in recent weeks.
