BOSTON – Today, April 27, the Baker-Polito Administration announced that Massachusetts will reopen some outdoor Phase 4, Step 2 industries effective May 10 but some businesses will still have to wait until August 1 to re-open.

Massachusetts remains first in the nation for first vaccine doses and total doses administered per capita, among states with more than 5 million people.

The Administration will also relax the Face Coverings Order for some outdoor settings, effective April 30.

• Dance clubs, and nightclubs

• Saunas, hot-tubs, steam rooms at fitness centers, health clubs and other facilities

• Indoor water parks

• Ball pits

All industry restrictions will be lifted at that time, and capacity will increase to 100% for all industries, with businesses encouraged to continue following best practices. The gathering limit will be rescinded.

Depending on vaccine distribution and public health data, the Administration may consider re-evaluating the August 1 date.

The Department of Public Health will also continue to issue guidance as needed, including guidance to still require masks indoors.
