We are closely following the Commonwealth of Massachusetts’ reopening plan, which is currently in Phase III. Among other measures, this plan tracks the progress of six key public health indicators that are driving reopening decisions:
COVID-19 positive test rate
Number of individuals who have died from COVID-19
Number of patients with COVID-19 in hospitals
Healthcare system readiness
Testing capacity
Contact tracing capabilities
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts is continuing to show progress in these areas.
We will continue to monitor these state indicators as we finalize our fall plans.
