Gatherings of 10 or more prohibited until May 18th, Stay at Home Advisory Remains in Effect
BOSTON – Today, the Baker-Polito Administration extended the
essential services emergency order to May 18th and launched a
Reopening Advisory Board that will produce a plan to the Governor by May 18th.
The Administration also announced that the Department of Public Health’s Stay
At Home Advisory remains in effect and gatherings of 10 or more people remain
prohibited until May 18th.
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 18th. 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 extends the existing ban on gatherings of more than 10 people until
May 18th.
Stay at Home Advisory: Governor Charlie Baker announced that the Department of
Public Health’s stay-at-home advisory will remain in effect. Residents are
strongly urged 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 18th.
Reopening Advisory Board: Today,
Governor Baker announced the formation of the Reopening Advisory Board, which
will be Co-Chaired by Lt. Governor Karyn Polito and Housing and Economic
Development Secretary Mike Kennealy. The Board brings public health officials
together with leaders from the business community and municipal government from
across the Commonwealth. This group is charged with advising the administration
on strategies to reopen the economy in phases based on health and safety
metrics. It will meet with key stakeholders and solicit input from a variety of
constituencies over the next three weeks to develop a report by May 18th that
will include DPH approved workplace safety standards, industry frameworks and
customer protocols and guidelines, including enforcement mechanisms and
coordination with municipal leaders. This report is due on the 18th,
but the administration has made clear that public health data and guidance from
health care experts will dictate the timeline of the re-opening process.
The
17-member Advisory Board is composed of three public health officials,
including Department of Public Health Commissioner Dr. Monica Bharel, three
municipal officials, and eleven leaders from the business community, including
MassDOT Secretary and CEO Stephanie Pollack. Members of the Advisory Board
bring a range of perspectives to the table, such as an understanding of
workplaces and workforces and insights into key areas like financial markets,
education, manufacturing and transportation.
