In light of the Governor’s Press Release in December 2021 and in accordance with the Federal and Massachusetts State recommendations to aid in minimizing the spread of COVID-19, it has been recommended by the Department of health that we continue to utilize caution. It is strongly advised that all residents, regardless of vaccination status, wear a mask or face covering when indoors.
