BOSTON - Monday, June 22, 2020 - Mayor
Martin J. Walsh announced today the City of Boston is hosting a series of
information sessions for business owners to discuss Massachusetts's
industry-specific reopening policies and guidelines for businesses. As the
City implements a safe, cautious, phased-in reopening strategy that
includes clear health criteria and safety guidelines for each industry,
administration officials will share City resources and policy updates, and
will also seek to hear directly from business owners on their concerns,
questions, and challenges. Representatives from relevant municipal
departments will be available on all information sessions to discuss how
the Commonwealth's reopening guidelines impact Boston businesses.
"COVID-19
is still a threat to our community, and we must remain vigilant and
exercise caution in our personal behaviors and in our
organizations," said Mayor Walsh. "As we progress forward with a
safe, phased reopening, it's imperative the City's public health and policy
experts speak directly to businesses on social distancing, temporary
operating policies, and resources the City has available."
Step Two of Phase II of the four-phase Reopening
Massachusetts plan begins today, June 22. In the past two weeks, the
Mayor's Office of Economic Development has held several webinars for
outdoor dining and close-contact personal care businesses, including tattoo
parlors, nail salons and tanning salons, which can be found on the
Economic Development Facebook page.
All events will be webinar-style and hosted
on Zoom, and feature a presentation of City of Boston business resources,
reopening guidelines, and offer time for questions and feedback from
businesses. Simultaneous translation is available in the languages included
below, and materials will be translated in additional languages and made available
on boston.gov/reopening. Below
