In a press conference this evening, Governor Charlie Baker announced that all bars and restaurants in Massachusetts would be shut down to on-premise consumption starting Tuesday through April 6th, and banned all gatherings larger than 25 people, in an effort to stem the coronavirus outbreak in the state.
He also ordered a three-week suspension of all public and private schools, effective Tuesday through April 7. This will extend Hingham Public Schools closing for an additional week than was previously announced by Superintendent Dr. Paul Austin and the Hingham Public School’s Leadership team.
