Massachusetts tweaks reopening rules for child care, camps
BOSTON (AP) — Massachusetts has changed some of the rules for reopening child-care centers and summer camps after operators complained that the guidelines would be too onerous. State officials will not require the use of masks for children older than 2, but will only encourage the face coverings. The state is also dropping the requirement that all children have their temperate checked before entering. The Massachusetts Department of Early Education and Care has also decided not to require an extra preschool teacher in each room. Staff must still wear a mask when they cannot remain six feet apart, officials say.
