Order: Mask and Face Covering Required in Public Places

Governor Baker has ordered all residents to use a face covering or mask in public places. This order goes into effect on May 6th and applies to all workers and customers of businesses and other organizations that are currently open to the public. Residents are required to wear a mask or face covering at all times when using any means of transportation service or public mass transit.

A face covering may include anything that covers your nose and mouth, including a mask, scarf or bandana.
