Operative words

As of Friday July 16, 132 confirmed positive cases of COVID-19 had been officially reported to the Massachusetts Department of Public Health associated with the Provincetown cases.... Venues with high density where social distancing is not achievable are strongly advised to enforce vaccine verification prior to admittance.... Masks are advised indoors where social distancing cannot be achieved. All unvaccinated individuals, including children under the age of 12, are required to wear masks both outdoors in crowded areas where social distancing cannot be achieved and in public indoor spaces, per CDC guidelines. Masks remain mandatory for all individuals on public and private transportation systems (including rideshares, livery, taxi, ferries, MBTA, Commuter Rail and transportation stations), in healthcare facilities and in other settings hosting vulnerable populations, such as congregate care settings.

Enforcement

Advisory; recites mandatory federal and State transportation and health-care mask rules and the Massachusetts COVID-19 emergency paid sick leave law

Notes

The Provincetown cluster that produced the CDC's July 27, 2021 masking recommendation; the Town's July 25, 2021 indoor mask order is not in hand.

Retrieval note

An advisory, not an order; use as facts and circumstances and for its recital of the mandatory transportation and health-care mask rules in July 2021.
