Today, the Baker-Polito Administration announced new COVID-19 public health emergency responses, issuing new guidelines on travel and transportation.
Travel Guidance: Beginning March 27, all travelers arriving to Massachusetts are urged to self-quarantine for 14 days. This guidance will be displayed as posters at service plazas along 1-90 eastbound, distributed as flyers at major transportation hubs and on posted on highway message boards. Visitors are instructed not to travel to Massachusetts if they are displaying symptoms. Health care workers, public health workers, public safety workers, transportation workers and designated essential workers are exempt from this requirement.
Governor Baker said at the Friday morning press briefing, “We’re asking that folks considering travel to Massachusetts for whatever reason, do not travel to our communities, especially if you have symptoms.”
The Commonwealth will continue to update the public on further developments and individuals are encouraged to consult both the Department of Public Health and the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention websites for the most up to date information.
