Face Coverings to be Mandatory State Wide
According to various news outlets, Governor Charlie Baker issued an order this afternoon requiring everyone in Massachusetts wear a face covering in public — including in businesses, outdoors, or on public transportation — if they’re unable to socially distance themselves from other people.
The order will go into effect on Wednesday. Violators may face a fine up to $300 but enforcement will be left to individual communities.
Home made face covering are allowed under the order.
