On Friday, May 13, 2022, Worcester health officials issued a citywide mask advisory due to a surge in positive COVID-19 cases and rising coronavirus levels in regional wastewater. It is strongly recommended that all residents wear masks when indoors and around others. In addition, it is recommended that all eligible residents be up to date on vaccines and boosters, avoid crowded spaces when possible and get tested for COVID-19 when exhibiting symptoms. Read the Full Advisory Letter.
Face coverings continue to be required in Worcester's hospitals until further notice. Any other business, institution or organization may also enact its own mask requirement.
As of Friday, May 6, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) classifies Worcester County's COVID-19 Community Level as High. Accordingly, the CDC recommends wearing a mask indoors in public and on public transportation, staying up to date with vaccines, getting tested if you have symptoms and taking additional precautions if you are at high risk for severe illness. More information is available on the CDC's COVID-19 Community Level Website.
