New Mask Guidance
The MA Department of Public Health has issued new mask guidance in light of the CDC's new recommendations and given new evidence about the highly contagious delta variant that is currently circulating in the US and MA.

Fully vaccinated individuals are advised to wear a mask or face covering when indoors outside of your home if you have a weakened immune system, are at increased risk for COVID-19 or if someone in your household is at increased risk or unvaccinated. Masks are still mandatory for all individuals on public and private transportation systems (including rideshares, livery, taxi, ferries, MBTA, Commuter Rail and transportation stations), in healthcare facilities and in other settings hosting vulnerable populations, such as congregate care settings.
