Massachusetts Updates COVID-19 Quarantine Recommendations
Effective today December 7, 2020, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts has aligned its quarantine recommendations with those issued last week by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The new guidance is based on recent CDC data showing that shortened quarantine periods result in only a small chance that someone may develop COVID-19 after leaving quarantine. The small risk that someone may develop COVID-19 after a shortened strict quarantine period is outweighed by the expected benefit of reduced transmission from the expected increased cooperation with adherence to the quarantine, according to the CDC.
Affordable Connectivity Program
Eligible households can reduce monthly costs of a new or existing internet service and get a one-time discount up to a $100 for laptop or tablet.
