Per CDC Guidelines, Everyone Should Wear Mask Indoors in Massachusetts

BOSTON – On July 27, the U.S. Centers For Disease Control said that if you live or work in an area at a high or substantial risk level for transmission of COVID-19, masks should be worn indoors.

As of this weekend, every county in Massachusetts is now at a high or substantial COVID-19 transmission, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Middlesex County is not a high level but at a substantial level.

Although, the Governor has not declared a requirement across the Commonwealth of Massachusetts for masks indoors, it is recommend by the CDC.

The City of Framingham has mandated masks be worn in all municipal buildings including the libraries, the Memorial Building, and the Callahan Center.

Mayor Yvonne Spicer has not declared that masks be worn indoors throughout the City, like the communities of Salem, Somerville, and Belmont.
