Administration Updates Non-Essential Business
Categories
BOSTON - Today, the Baker-Polito Administration
announced several updates related to the COVID-19 outbreak including extending
the non-essential business emergency order and guidance for Executive Branch
employees until May 4. The Department of Public Health’s Stay-At-Home Advisory
remains in effect. The Administration also updated the “COVID-19 Essential
Services” categories for businesses and other organizations that provide
essential services and workforces related to COVID-19 that are permitted to
operate brick and mortar facilities during the emergency.
Essential
Services Order: Governor Charlie Baker’s emergency order
requiring that all businesses and organizations that do not provide “COVID-19
Essential Services” close their physical workplaces and facilities to workers,
customers and the public will be extended until May 4. Businesses and
organizations not on the list of essential services are encouraged to continue
operations through remote means that do not require workers, customers, or the
public to enter or appear at the brick-and-mortar premises closed by the order.
This order also prohibits gatherings of more than 10 people until May 4th.
The Administration
updated the “COVID-19 Essential Services” list today, which is based on federal
guidance that was updated earlier this week. The new list will go into effect tomorrow,
April 1, at noon. While these businesses are designated as essential,
they are urged to follow social distancing protocols for workers in accordance
with guidance from the Department of Public Health (DPH).
Some of the updates
to the essential services list include:
- Clarity
around the supply chain that supports other essential services
- Adding
health care providers like chiropractors and optometrists
- Expanding
the types of workers providing disinfectant and sanitation services

of Housing and Economic Development.
Hotel/Motel
Guidance: As part of the updated essential business
list, DPH issued new guidance today around hotels, motels, inns, beds and
breakfasts and other short-term residential rentals. Based on this new
guidance, hotels, motels, and short-term rentals may only be used for efforts
related to fighting COVID-19, like front line health workers or individuals, or
for Massachusetts residents who have been otherwise displaced from their
residences.

Stay at
Home Advisory: Last week, Governor Charlie Baker
directed DPH to issue a stay-at-home advisory, and the Governor announced today
that the advisory will remain in effect. Residents are advised to stay home and
avoid unnecessary travel and other unnecessary person to person contact during
this time period. Residents who are considered at high risk when exposed
to COVID-19 should limit social interactions with other people as much as
possible
Executive
Branch Employee Guidance: The Baker-Polito
Administration today also extended the guidance issued to Executive Branch
employees on protocol during the COVID-19 outbreak to ensure state government
can continue to provide key services while protecting the health and safety of
the public and the Executive Branch workforce. Under the guidance, all
employees performing non-core functions who are able to work remotely should
continue to do so until May 4. Full guidance will be sent to Executive Branch
employees later today.
Some Executive
Branch services and walk-in offices remain open, but residents are encouraged
to use online services when available. For the status of in-person Executive
Branch office locations, please click here.
Field
Medical Station Announcement: The Commonwealth,
through MEMA, has requested and received approval for a Field Medical Station
that will provide additional medical care capacity as the state plans for a
surge in cases. The federal Strategic National Stockpile has approved a 250-bed
field medical station that will be deployed to the DCU Center in the City of
Worcester this week. This temporary facility will be managed by UMass
Memorial and staffed by a partnership including the City of Worcester and
others. The temporary field medical center will be used to treat lower acuity
patients who still need monitoring.
Nursing/Rest
Home Program: The Commonwealth is implementing a pilot
project that allows for safe, on-site testing of symptomatic residents of
nursing and rest homes with a quick turnaround. The pilot will operate under
the auspices of the Massachusetts National Guard in partnership with the
Department of Public Health and Broad Institute of Cambridge, and samples will
be collected by trained personnel from the Massachusetts National Guard. Prior
to this launch, the only way for nursing home residents to be tested would be
to be transported to a hospital or physician’s office.
