Phase 3 Could Begin As Early As Next Week: Here's What Would Open

Governor Baker has said public health trends regarding coronavirus within Massachusetts would determine whether the state moves forward to a new phase. But as the Commonwealth gets closer towards Phase 3, several other states have either paused or rolled back their reopening plans.
