麻州州長查理貝克(Charlie Baker)剛剛宣佈，12月26日起縮緊防疫規定。在為期約二週的時間內，絕大部分企業營運需降至正常的25%，所有活動的群聚人數，限戶外25人，室內10人以下。
新規定將從12月26日起生效，直至2021年1月10日止。
查理貝克再次強調，源自感恩節經驗，為防止聖誕節、新年假期造成更多人感染新冠病毒(COVID-19)，希望所有州民遵守新規定，以遏制病毒散佈，好讓醫護系統及學校，社區可以保持開放。
麻州副州長白莉朵(Karyn
Polito)進一步說明，餐館，戲院，表演場所，個人服務，賭場，辦公室，教堂或崇拜所，零售店，駕校，飛行學校，高爾夫球場，圖書館，健身房，博物館等等，全都適用於新規定，
不過餐館，個人服務，教堂，諸如雜貨店等零售地點的營運工作人員，不包括計算在這25%，以及戶外25人，室內10人的限制中。
麻州公共衛生廳廳長Marylou Sudders表示，新的臨時限制，將也適用於醫療業。除非會對病人造成極大危險，麻州內所有醫院必須推遲或取消所有非必要，可選擇的住院手術。
