• The first guidance is: work from home if you can, and afford people over 65 and those with underlying conditions or immunity issues first dabs at special consideration.

• The detailed reopening plan allows for offices outside of Boston to be open as of May 25. We interpret that to mean that people who work at historic organizations to go back to work in archives, offices, as soon after May 25th as they comply with  three requirements outlined in the two web pages linked below:
  • Covid-19 control plan,
  • Compliance attestation poster
  • Employer and worker posters

Detailed instructions: Safety standards  and Business Guidance

Our understanding is that, if we want to work with volunteer staff (e.g. in the archives), we need to comply with all those. However, there is to be no public as yet and we have to meet the conditions.

• Historic Sites are tbd, but not phase 1 —Comprehensive tourism plan is being developed.
• Museums are phase 3 (date depends on how it goes)
