MASK MANDATE RESCINDED

Due to the recent decrease in both COVID-19 cases as well as the percent of positive tests, starting Tuesday February 22, 2022, masks will no longer be required for indoor public spaces per Holbrook Board of Health.

This decision was made due to moderate community transmission, according to guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The Massachusetts Department of Public Health has published the following mask advisory for vaccinated and unvaccinated residents:

A fully vaccinated individual should wear a mask indoors if you have a weakened immune system, or if you are at increased risk for severe disease because of your age or an underlying medical condition, or if someone in your household has a weakened immune system, is at increased risk for severe disease or is unvaccinated.

Masks are still required in the following locations, per state regulation:

1. On public and private transportation

2. Healthcare facilities

3. Congregate care facilities

4. Emergency shelter programs

5. Houses of Correction, Department of Correction prisons, jails, and other correctional facilities.

6. Health Care and Day Services and Programs operated, licensed, certified, regulated, or funded by the Commonwealth including the Executive Office of Health and Human Services or one of its agencies.

7. Home health care workers
