On Monday, May 17, Mayor Kim Janey announced that the City of Boston will align with the state's reopening plan. All remaining COVID-19 restrictions will be lifted effective May 29.
Following CDC guidance, the state's face covering order will also be rescinded on May 29. Governor Baker will end the State of Emergency June 15.
Starting Monday, June 7, 2021, Boston City Hall will be open to the public by appointment only for a fourth day each week. In addition to Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, residents will be able to make in-person appointments on Monday as well.
The Boston Public Library will reopen for limited in-person services in June. The Library will prioritize bringing back critical services that help residents with economic and educational recovery. They will also be scheduling robust summer programs for both adults and youth.
Boston Center for Youth & Families (BCYF) will increase its youth programming to align with the Reopening Massachusetts plan. This will allow for the expansion of programs for children and youth, including arts and crafts, fitness classes, and game nights. BCYF will also offer summer day programs at several centers.
