MASSACHUSETTS — Phase two of the state's reopening plan will begin Monday, Gov. Charlie Baker announced Saturday. The phase will open in two parts — the first begins immediately and the second begins at date to be determined as public health data becomes available.
Most of phase two's reopenings will come in part one. Retail stores, malls, outdoor dining, child care and other industries will be allowed to get back to business, all with varying levels of restrictions.
Indoor eating and some personal services, such as nail salons and tattoo parlors, will reopen in part two.
