Safety Guidelines Work and Union Meetings

As you know, the number of COVID-19 cases is rising across our region. Recent guidance from officials in Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts have called for  increased restrictions, including stricter mask mandates, lower limits on gatherings, and updated stay-at-home advisories in some areas.

  • As of December 13, 2020, all communities in Massachusetts returned to Step 1 of Phase 3, of the Commonwealth’s reopening plan. The Baker Administration announced the roll-back to respond to an increase in new COVID-19 infections and hospitalizations that strained the health care system.
  • Everyone over the age of 5 is required to wear a face-covering in public that covers the nose and mouth. 
  • There is a limit of 10 people for indoor gatherings and 25 people for outdoor gatherings. Violators will be fined $500. 
  • There is also a stay-at-home advisory, which requires residents to stay indoors between 10 PM and 5 AM with the exception of work and commuting.
  • Receive the most up-to-date information from the Commonwealth by texting COVIDMA to 888-777.
  • On November 19, 2020, Governor Chris Sununu signed an Emergency Order instituting a statewide mask mandate in New Hampshire. Everyone over the age of 5 is required to wear a face-covering in public that covers the nose and mouth. The order will remain in effect through January 15, 2021.
  • As of December 3, 2020, people exposed to a COVID-19 patient in their house must quarantine for 10 days after the last point of contact with the patient. If they couldn’t separate, they must quarantine for 10 days after the patient’s last day of isolation.
  • As of November 13, 2020, residents traveling outside of New England are being asked to quarantine for 14 days upon their return, or quarantine for seven days upon their return, followed by a negative COVID-19 test.
  • As of November 5, 2020, there is an Executive Order requiring face-coverings in public. 
  • Indoor gatherings have been limited to a maximum of 50 people. 
  • As of November 16, 2020, Massachusetts travelers going to Maine will have to quarantine for two weeks. To avoid quarantine, travelers must produce a recent negative COVID-19 test. Maine health officials are also urging travelers from Massachusetts to get tested and get results 72 hours before going to Maine.

In light of this guidance, Union Meetings will be held virtually. Virtual meetings work just like in-person Union Meetings. We discuss information, share key updates, and anyone may ask questions. The only difference is that you’ll be able to join from your phone. Members in good standing may contact the Union Hall for additional information.
