Covid-19 Update
Massachusetts has enacted a travel advisory. Under this new executive order, anyone entering Massachusetts will need to fill out a form summarizing their travel, then either self-isolate for 14 days upon arrival or submit negative COVID test results no more than 72 hours prior to entering the Commonwealth. This is an update to a travel advisory that has been in place for months but adds enforcement mechanisms. Individuals who do not follow the mandatory quarantine order could be fined $500 per day.
Massachusetts residents and visitors, including college students, must comply with the new policies. More information is available here. https://www.mass.gov/info-details/covid-19-travel-order
