State revamps COVID-19 tallies and childcare centers could open.
BOSTON (AP) — Massachusetts officials on Monday began reporting both confirmed and probable COVID-19 cases and deaths, a move that significantly increased both totals. Childcare programs and summer camps could soon begin operating again in Massachusetts as part of phase two of the state’s reopening plan, under an executive order signed by Gov. Charlie Baker on Monday. Massachusetts business owners and others have filed a lawsuit accusing Gov. Charlie Baker of overstepping his authority with his coronavirus restrictions. Meanwhile, a new program has been launched to help small businesses in the Merrimack Valley obtain masks and other protective equipment they’ll need to reopen.
