Massachusetts Phase 3 Reopening: Full List

Massachusetts is ready to enter phase three of its reopening plan, and it'll be there for quite some time.

Phase three is starting Monday, July 6. A second part of phase three will begin a later date — it's unknown exactly when, but it will be longer than the usual few weeks, Gov. Charlie Baker said. It will continue to depend on public health data, which has been steadily improving.

Phase three is expected to last for a long time. It is the final phase before therapeutics or a vaccine is found, Baker said.

Phase three will eventually bring most everything back online outside of large gatherings at things like sporting events, music festivals, bars, nightclubs and amusement parks. Those won't reopen until phase four — "the new normal," as the state is calling it.

Monday will see gyms, museums and cultural and historical facilities reopen. Small guided tours will begin resuming. All are reopening with restrictions.
