Andover Playgrounds Reopen, Town Offices Partially Open

ANDOVER, MA — Andover's public facilities continue to reopen, with playgrounds opening Wednesday and Town Offices opening in a limited way.

In both cases, an increasingly-familiar set of limitations and guidelines are in place, including mask-wearing and social distancing.

The town offices are open only in the form of a "Customer Service Center," which will be open 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The only public entrance will be the main entrance at 36 Bartlet Street, and elevator-use will be limited to one person at a time, or two from the same household.

Anyone with a temperature 100.3 or higher, with coronavirus symptoms or close contact with a coronavirus patient is barred from entering.

More detailed information on both playgrounds and town offices is available here.

As of Tuesday, just 11 of the town's 300 confirmed coronavirus cases are active. Forty-eight residents have died of the virus.
