An earlier order issued by Governor Charlie Baker that banned on-site consumption in Massachusetts restaurants and bars has been extended, while more restrictions have been extended as well.
Based on information from today's press conference, Governor Baker has changed the end date of the restaurant restrictions from April 6 to May 4, and he has also extended both the stay-at-home advisory and the closure of non-essential businesses until May 4. The ruling that only allows restaurants and bars in Massachusetts to offer takeout/delivery began on March 17; all other New England states have similar rulings in place as well, though with differing end dates.
