The reopening phases would start with a small number of industries to reopen with restrictions and then slowly allow additional businesses to reopen with fewer and fewer restrictions until we reach the final phase. Those steps are outlined below based on Gov. Baker’s comments:

• Phase 1 - Start: Limited industries resume operations with severe restrictions
• Phase 2 - Cautious: Additional industries resume operations with restrictions and capacity limits
• Phase 3 - Vigilant: Additional industries resume operations with guidance
• Phase 4 - New Normal: Development of vaccine and/or therapy enables resumption of ‘new normal’
