Towns Rolling Back to Phase 2 Guidelines
|
|
Municipal authority to revert to more restrictive pre-October 8, 2020 size and capacity limitations and rules for certain businesses and gatherings:
Makes several modifications to the previously enacted order that allows municipalities to revert to Phase 2. Under this order, municipalities that are in the orange level of the state’s weekly COVID-19 Alert Map will also have the option of reverting to Phase 2, in addition to the red level municipalities, as previously ordered. In addition, there is no longer a deadline for municipalities to decide whether they want to revert to Phase 2. Effective immediately, municipalities can elect to revert to Phase 2 any time that it is categorized within the red or orange levels. Executive Order 9J can be downloaded here.
