Governor Lifts Some Restrictions
All capacity limits will be removed for restaurants, under Massachusetts' statewide guidelines, and live musical performances may resume. Other rules for restaurants, such as social distancing six feet apart, a maximum of six people at each table, and 90-minute limits on eating times will remain in place.
Theaters, concert halls and other indoor performance venues may reopen at half capacity for up to 500 people total. Indoor recreational centers with higher potential for contact, like laser tag, roller skating, trampoline parks, and obstacle courses, may reopen with the same 50% capacity cap.
Capacity limits across all sectors with limits will also be raised to 50% and exclude employees, according to the announcement from the state. Baker's office emphasized that residents should continue to wear masks and avoid contact outside their household.
