Most COVID-19 restrictions in Massachusetts will be lifted on Saturday, May 29, Governor Charles D. Baker Jr. announced today. With the state on track to reach its goal of 4.1 million residents vaccinated by the first week of June, Gov. Baker said that all businesses and industries will be able to open at full capacity on May 29. All gathering limits will also be rescinded. On the same day, the state's face covering order will end and be replaced by an advisory that is aligned with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's new guidance that vaccinated people will be able to go mask-free in most settings.
