Governor Baker Extends Non-Essential Business Closure Through May 4

On March 31, Governor Baker extended the order requiring non-essential businesses to close their physical locations to stop the spread of the Coronavirus. The order, which began a week ago, on March 24, was set to expire at noon on April 7. The new order goes until May 4. The order still does not apply to essential businesses and workers, which includes housing construction. Baker said the state would be issuing an updated list of businesses and organizations considered essential. For more information, visit: https://www.wbur.org/bostonomix/2020/03/31/baker-extends-non-essential-business-closure.
