Schools will close in the state for three weeks. In some communities like Boston there will be school but only to allow students to get their personal items and to get school assignments.
There will be no large gatherings. Originally, the governor had set the number at 250. Now it is 25. Grocery stores and pharmacies are excluded from the directive.
"The facts on the ground have changed," Baker said Sunday. "At this point in time, it's particularly appropriate that we not only move on the school closures, but also that we get a lot more aggressive around other places and spaces that people gather."
Restaurants will remain open. However they will only be open for takeout service. There will be no sit-down service.
The Massachusetts Trial Court will be closed both Monday and Tuesday.
Elective Surgeries have all been postponed.
