A week after most of the rest of Massachusetts, Boston is scheduled to enter the third phase of its coronavirus economic restart on Monday.
Under the plan, movie theaters, museums and historical sites, as well as gyms, are among the businesses allowed to reopen with appropriate public health measures in place, including social distancing and mask-wearing.
Boston’s plan differs slightly from the state plan. For example, libraries will remain closed for browsing, but card holders can still order books for pickup.
The city is also limiting attendance at outdoor gatherings to 50 people, while the state limit is 100.
Somerville officials announced Friday it would delay phase three until July 20.
Somerville Mayor Joseph Curtatone said he’s still concerned about transmission of the disease in indoor spaces in the state’s most densely populated city.
Encore Boston Harbor became the second of Massachusetts’ three casinos to reopen to gamblers on Sunday.
Capacity at the Everett resort is capped and guests will undergo temperature checks and be required to wear face coverings inside.
MGM Springfield is scheduled to reopen Monday.
Plainridge Park Casino in Plainville reopened last week.
