In other news, because of the rapid increase of cases in other regions of the country, Governor Charlie Baker has placed new regulations for visitors coming into Massachusetts as of tomorrow, July 1st:
Effective Wednesday, July 1, all travelers arriving to Massachusetts, including residents returning home, are instructed to self-quarantine for 14-days. This guidance does not apply to travelers from Rhode Island, Connecticut, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, New York or New Jersey. Additionally, workers designated by the federal government as essential critical infrastructure workers are also exempt from this directive.
All visitors and residents of Massachusetts are also reminded that the use of masks or face coverings in public places where individuals cannot socially distance from others remains required.
These new guidelines replace previously announced Massachusetts travel guidance.
