Despite the growing number of COVID-19 cases in the state, Gov. Charlie Baker on Tuesday said Massachusetts is not planning any additional closures or restrictions.
"We'll continue to follow closely the public health data and continue to make decisions based on that," Baker said. "The public will be given clear notice before anything new goes into effect."
The governor warned that a growing number of coronavirus clusters are in houses of worship with 36 clusters identified so far. Those clusters have contributed to 316 COVID-19 cases and 150 close contacts, he said.
Forty-eight communities in Massachusetts have had one or more cases associated with a cluster at a house of worship, according to health officials.
The governor is urging anyone attending religious services to wear a mask and socially distance themselves. They are also urged not to attend social gatherings before or after services.
