Guidance for Front Line Workers
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Guidance for Frontline Staff
It is important for those who work with the public to understand how to protect their health and that of the people they serve while at work. The document below provides guidance for staff on ways to protect themselves, behaviors and personal protective equipment. Face Mask Guidance
Governor Charlie Baker issued an Order effective April 30, 2021 requiring people to wear masks or face-coverings in indoor public places and outdoors when they are unable to maintain 6 feet from other people.
Face coverings will still be required at all times in indoor public places. Face coverings will also continue to be required at all times at events, whether held indoors or outdoors and whether held in a public space or private home, except for when eating or drinking. At smaller gatherings in private homes, face coverings are recommended but not required. Guidance for Home Care Workers
