Governor Baker Issued an Executive Order Prohibiting Gatherings of More Than 25 People and On-Premises Consumption of Food and Drink

This Order is in Effect from Tuesday, March 17, 2020 Through Sunday, April 5, 2020 – (unless further extended)

 

This Means Two Things

ONE: no businesses may serve food or drink (including alcoholic beverages) to be consumed on their premises.  The order applies to restaurants, bars, hotels, clubs, veterans’ clubs, general on-premises, and continuing care retirement communities.

TWO: it is not allowed to have 25 or more people gathered in a single room or a single space at the same time in any confined indoor or outdoor space.  This includes any staff members.  Examples include: theater; stadium; auditorium; fitness center; gymnasium; private club. 

 

WHAT IS ALLOWED

  • Take-out and delivery of food only (NO alcoholic beverages!) – at this time, current operating hours still apply, as long as you restrict your service to take-out and delivery of food only
  • Convenience stores, grocery stores, package stores may all remain open for normal business

WHAT IS PROHIBITED

  • On-premises liquor license holders MAY NOT have alcoholic beverages delivered or offered for take-out – basically, you can’t sell liquor at all right now
  • Self-service food or drink is not allowed
