States dealing with high numbers of coronavirus cases are imposing or extending health orders
Across the country, some state leaders are having to impose stricter health orders as communities deal with the latest surge in coronavirus cases.
Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker on Tuesday announced statewide restrictions on capacity for businesses and lowered limits for indoor and outdoor gatherings.
Beginning Saturday, businesses in “most industries” will need to limit their capacity to 25%, Baker said, calling the decision to institute the measures “enormously difficult.”
Additionally, indoor gatherings are now limited to 10 people and outdoor gatherings to 25, Baker said.
Baker announced that the state had 3,760 new cases and 1,991 people were hospitalized, putting facilities “under significant pressure.”
