Shopping, outdoor dining to resume, bars remain closed
BOSTON Massachusetts restaurants, retail shops, child care facilities and hotels got the green light Saturday to emerge from their government-induced slumbers beginning on Monday, though every business that reopens will have to follow mandatory safety regulations and industry-specific guidelines for keeping workers and customers safe as the highly-contagious coronavirus continues to circulate.
Gov. Charlie Baker said Saturday afternoon that the public health data the state uses to track the COVID-19 pandemic has been trending in the right direction and that the virus has receded enough to allow another measured step towards what used to be normal. As of Friday, Massachusetts had seen 102,557 confirmed cases of COVID-19, and likely many more, and had lost 7,235 people to the virus.
"This terrible virus and the terrible toll that it takes will be with us until there are medical breakthroughs with respect to treatments or vaccines. But thanks to your hard work and your sacrifices, we're bringing the fight to the virus. So we're moving forward and Massachusetts is continuing to reopen," the governor said, commending residents for practicing social distancing and covering their faces in public.
Not all of the Phase 2 businesses will be allowed to reopen on Monday, however. Housing and Economic Development Secretary Mike Kennealy said the phase will have two "steps" to it, the first of which will begin Monday and the second of which will be allowed to start at a point "determined based on continued improvements in public health metrics," the secretary said.
Here's what can resume starting Monday, June 8: in-store retail, with occupancy limits; outdoor dining at restaurants; child care centers and day camps; hotels and other lodgings; warehouses and distribution centers; youth and adult amateur sports; house cleaning, photography, window washing and other personal services that do not require close contact; funeral homes; outdoor recreation at pools, playgrounds and driving ranges; and professional sports team practices.
Health care providers on Monday can resume in-person elective, non-urgent procedures and services, including office visits, dental visits and vision care, though elective cosmetic procedures and in-person day programs will remain prohibited until Phase 3.
Later in Phase 2 these businesses and activities can resume: indoor dining at restaurants, and personal services that require close contact, like nail salons, tanning salons, tattoo parlors and body piercing, personal training, massage therapy, hair removal, and hair replacement or scalp treatments.
Though the state's reopening plan calls for the limit on gathering size to be "determined based on trends," an executive order Baker signed Saturday did not increase the 10-person limit on gatherings indoors or in enclosed outdoor spaces.
While business will begin to reopen and consumers will have greater freedom, the governor and others on Saturday cautioned that things will be a little unusual as employers, workers and customers all get used to the safety measures required to be in place.
"In a world where COVID-19 exists, everything looks little different. We're asking people to follow new safety protocols, to change how they interact with customers, to stagger work schedules and to work remotely," Baker said. He added, "Since the middle of March, we've asked a lot of everybody here in the commonwealth -- every family, every business, every employer, every government agency, every individual -- to get to this point, but so far we've made tremendous progress. We've been successful in bending the curve on COVID-19 and the metrics reflect that."
Since mid-April, the seven-day average of the positive COVID-19 test rate is down 82 percent, the three-day average of hospitalized patients is down 55 percent and the number of hospitals still relying on their COVID-19 surge capacity is down 76 percent, Baker said.
"We are clearly on the path to beat the virus. But as I said earlier, until there are medical breakthroughs, we have to continue to take the fight and play our part in fighting the virus. COVID-19 is still very much with us and it's incredibly contagious, and in some cases, merciless to those that are affected by it," Baker said. "And while we should all feel a certain sense of relief and progress with respect to the start of Phase 2, we should also keep in mind that we have a way to go to get to what we would call the permanent new normal."
Indeed, bars, movie theaters, entertainment venues, gyms, museums and casinos remained closed and will stay that way for at least three more weeks. The four-phase reopening plan Baker and Lt. Gov. Karyn Polito detailed last month requires a minimum of three weeks between phases, meaning the absolute earliest possible date that Massachusetts could move into Phase 3 is Monday, June 29.
Though some have slammed Baker for being too slow to reopen the economy, others said this week that the state is not yet ready to move into Phase 2. The Massachusetts Public Health Association and other groups came together to produce a set of criteria that they insist should be met before further reopening. The demands include a significant boost in testing activity and a demonstrated decline in infection rates among populations for which the state has incomplete or zero data on the spread of the coronavirus.
Several of the group's benchmarks would have precluded Baker from reopening the next group of businesses by Monday.
"Today, Governor Baker chose to ignore these basic standards and instead to put Massachusetts residents at increased risk of illness and death, with little in the way of data to track impact on Black and Latinx residents, no meaningful protections for low-wage workers, testing that falls dramatically short of the Governor's own goals, and, adding insult to injury, no seat at the table for the very communities that stand to be most impacted," Carlene Pavlos, executive director of MPHA, said. "The Governor claims to always 'follow the data' and to 'listen to the experts,' but today he did exactly the opposite. For these reasons, we strongly oppose the Governor's decision today."
On the other end of the spectrum, the Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance criticized the governor Saturday for splitting the second reopening phase into two steps and delaying the return of some businesses.
"Seems like the Governor is moving the goal post again," spokesman Paul Craney said. "Phases now have parts. For part 2 businesses, they have to wait even though they thought they could open. It's tone deaf and out of touch to the concerns of business owners. Cruel to start to introduce parts when it was never originally disclosed on day one."
As businesses reopen, they can only be successful if consumers feel comfortable venturing out to shop or dine.
"It will be up to consumers to decide with their $'s when & how they will again buy on #MainStreet. But they should be assured that they can shop locally safely," Jon Hurst, president of the Retailers Association of Massachusetts, tweeted Saturday afternoon. "Consumers=70% of economy. How we spend our $'s in months to come will truly determine futures of countless #SmallBiz."
Polito, who led the state's reopening advisory board alongside Kennealy, implored people to shop locally.
"When you buy from the local and small businesses that make up the fabric of your community, you support our Massachusetts economy. You may decide enjoy to enjoy outdoor dining, or visit a local or family-owned restaurant in your neighborhood, one of your favorites," she said. "Make sure you visit and enjoy some of that experience, I think it will be a lot of fun for all of us. Go to the corner stores and shops in your town centers, they need you."
Baker, who has been relatively quick on the take-up as businesses and services have returned (he got a haircut in the first few days barber shops were reopened and recently took advantage of new outdoor visitation regulations to visit his father in a long-term care facility), said Saturday that he might dine al fresco next week.
Asked if he plans to take First Lady Lauren Baker out for an outdoor dinner, the governor said, "Maybe. We'll see what happens."

If youre an avid op-shopper like me, youll know that one thing people have been doing during Covid is clearing out their closets, writes Lisa Scott. Those with the luxury to do so took the opportunity to ask themselves, "do I really need this?". Unfortunately there were many who found the company they worked for had been forced to do the same with their jobs. Usefulness is in the eye of the economy.
My own purge had only one criteria: Does it hurt? Do these earrings poke me in the neck? Does the waistband of this dress relocate some organs, does the item in question rub, pinch, itch, leave a green stain? Do these shoes squish my toes? I have no time left for being uncomfortable. Ive spent decades standing because I cant sit or pulling on a camel toe because its taken that long for me to accept the size I am isnt the same as the one I want to be. Its the clothing equivalent of putting up with bad behaviour because you dont have good enough boundaries. No more being bullied by my frocks, made to feel unattractive by my jeans. As Elizabeth Gilbert discovered in Eat, Pray, Love: you can just go up a size.
With my wardrobe thus renovated, I turned my attention to the house. After staring out its windows for seven weeks over lockdown I couldnt ignore how dirty they were a moment longer, plus the house, as my shelter and retreat from contagion, had become an extension of my psyche. Both could do with a bit of a spring clean but I only had the energy for one.
I hadnt asked for a special air-powered hose system that softened the water particulates, making it the purest water ever. "I dont think ..." I started. Never mind, rest assured, this was state of the art, said the window guys. It looked like two scuba tanks attached to a tractor engine and sounded like a wood chipper. "Shes an old house, boys," I said, "be gentle." But this was the hydroxychloroquine of window cleaning, I couldnt possibly understand its miracle properties.
When the paint and quite a lot of the putty was blasted right off the windows, I didnt say anything, momentarily just too stunned. Little flecks of white covered the flowerbeds like an enamel snow, winter was coming and the wood was now open to the elements. But I was supporting the local economy so it couldnt be all bad. Shop local, spend local.
The painters came. I was still working from home so it was quite cold with all the windows open. The sander filled the house up with dust, and you could taste the post-war lead in the air. Yes, nailing the drop cloth to the windowsill was a thing they reassured me. What they lacked in finesse they certainly made up for in the application of paint, within and without. Sloppy? Only a godless liberal would go casting blame in the middle of an economic crisis.
The carpet cleaner came. I smiled at her through the patterns the orbital sander had made on the glass, reminiscent of Spirograph art, just more permanent. I was making Oamaru great again.
The next day, opening the bedroom window required some force, like unsealing an ancient tomb. It might have been painted together, but I didnt say that. Howard Carter never opened anything with more trepidation than I did right then. A loud "crack!" announced the breaking of the window frame. I went out into the garden and stared up at the splintered wood. Rebuilding an economy single-handed isnt easy. Ask anyone.
The joiner came. I was beginning to feel like the woman who swallowed a spider to catch a fly. I dont know why.
The joiner was lovely. He reminded me of my West Coast Uncle Merv, always dressed in shorts and long wool socks. Sunny of smile, big of glasses. He was absolutely the sweetest man, with a bushy black beard of the kind young urban creatives try to grow. He unscrewed the window and took it away to his place.
I looked out through the empty socket at the memorial oaks, nothing between me and the world. Down the road, some hopeful soul kept raking the dropped leaves into piles for the wind to scatter.
The joiner brought the window back a few hours later, all fixed. He wouldnt take payment. "It was only a little job," he said.
It didnt hurt at all.

We love a traditional, roasted leg of lamb. We really do. But does anyone else find that roast dinner, after roast dinner, can start to feel a little... same-y?
Given how tender and more importantly how versatile lamb is, we think this it really is quite a shame that so many of us reach for the same familiar recipes every weekend. Which is why we're bringing you something slightly different this Sunday.
Packed full of spices, this Indian spiced lamb certainly isn't lacking in flavour. And we think it might be just what you need to start feeling excited about this delicious meat once again.
You can serve with traditional sides roast potatoes, Yorkshire pudding, etc if the prospect of too much change causes heart palpitations. Or, enjoy this delicious spiced lamb with a cooling mint yoghurt and plenty of salad for something slightly lighter. See the full recipe below.
Discover more of our favourite lamb recipes, or head over to our food hub for more ideas and inspiration.

Ingredients:
Method:
1. Heat the oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5
2. Peel the garlic and the ginger. Finely chop them and put into a bowl.
3. Add the yoghurt, lemon juice, paprika, turmeric and cumin.
4. Finely chop the chilli along with the seeds and add to the mix.
5. Season with a little salt and black pepper and mix well.
6. Make some cuts in the top of the lamb. Then, rub the paste over the top of the lamb and into the cuts.
7. Put the lamb into a roasting dish.
8. Pour some water in the bottom of the dish- just enough to cover the base of the tin.
9. Cover the lamb loosely with some tin foil roast in the oven for 120 mins.
10. Top the water up in the bottom of the roasting dish as youre roasting this helps to steam and roast the lamb at the same time.
11. Take the lamb out of the oven cover with another piece of tin foil and allow the lamb to rest for 15 mins before carving.

Tesco said: Elbow Grease is formulated to remove grease and oil in all situations.
It is ideal for removing grease spots from fabrics and porous materials, for removing grease from the kitchen surfaces and for cleaning oily surfaces such as engines and machinery.
Mrs Hinch fans have also recently set up their own Facebook pages where they can share their own cleaning finds inspired by Mrs Hinch.
One Mrs Hinch fan told Facebook to forget about cleaning products, and shared her hack to clean windows that involves tea bags.
Mrs Hinch says the product is very versatile and is great for removing smudges from glass tables and fans have even said it can clean the oven to remove residue.
Another cleaning fanatic posted onto a Mrs Hinch Fan group on Facebook how she used the product to remove stains from her carpet.
She said that she left the product on the stairs for around 15 minutes before spraying a carpet cleaner onto and leaving for a further 20 minutes.
The Mum then explained how she scrubbed the stairs with warm water with a bristle brush before drying the carpet with a towel to pick up any remaining product.
The after photos showed the carpet completely stain-free and only took about an hour.
Always read the label before using cleaning products to make sure that they can be used on the surface that you are intending to use it on.

Speaking to Fabulous Online, Lucy revealed: I have had my oven cleaned professionally before and she did a fabulous job of the hob and window.
"However, there is always this horrible stubborn bit everyone seems to struggle to get off including a professional cleaner."
Revealing her super simple method, Lucy added: "I sprayed the Elbow Grease and left to soak for 30 minutes.
"Once I had done this, I used a scourer and an old spoon to scrape from side to side and remove the marks."

Cadillac has a couple key goals as it battles to maintain its share of the luxury market, and ultimately grow.
First, it has to stand out against a wide array of luxury competitors (Acura, Tesla, Audi, Lexus, Infiniti, Lincoln, Benz and BMW among them). This alone is a daunting task.
The other goal is to capture the next generation of luxury car buyers, with the goal of getting them in the Cadillac family so they remain loyal as they buy or lease luxury vehicles in the future. In order to do this, you need new vehicles that will garner attention that are also somewhat affordable for entry-level buyers.
With that in mind, Cadillac developed the XT4, a compact SUV that debuted in 2019 and sees minor changes for 2020. This vehicle sits on the low end of the Cadillac luxury crossover lineup, and is priced to sell to first-time luxury buyers.
I recently spent some time in a 2020 Cadillac XT4, and Im back with a full review on how it compares in a segment where you really need to shine to stand out.
2019 Cadillac XT4 Sport
LOOKS
The 2020 Cadillac XT4 offers the usual aggressive but stylish design that Cadillac fans have learned to love over the years.
The XT4 is part of the family of crossovers which also includes XT5 and XT6, the new naming convention which hopefully will stick around since I can't keep track of all the changes anymore. The XT4 features LED headlamps and tail lamps, with front cornering, as well as LED turn signals, passive entry and keyless start.
2019 Cadillac XT4 Sport
The exterior of my test vehicle featured a silver metallic paint job, while the interior was jet black with cinnamon accents.
The interior design of the XT4 was well thought-out by Cadillac. Up front, seats are extremely roomy, and back seat leg room is also strong for the segment. Seating is available for up to five people.
2019 Cadillac XT4 Sport
One area where the XT4 does fall short is cargo space, as numbers are lower than some rivals with the rear seats up or down. On a positive note, the rear does have a 60/40 split to boost storage options depending on the number of rear passengers.
The interior design emanates luxury better than many of this segments offerings. The high-quality seating was plush and cozy and features lumbar support for both front seats, and driver settings can be saved via the memory package.
Drivers in colder climates would be wise to opt for the cold weather package, which includes front heated seats, rear outboard heated seats in rear, and a heated steering wheel.
2019 Cadillac XT4 Sport
Buyers who choose the Sport trim level will get attractive design features including a gloss black mesh grille, gloss black window moldings and specific Sport alloy wheel options.
Luxury and Premium Luxury models will get you a grille featuring bright metallic accents, satin aluminum window moldings and satin chrome-accented door handles.
HOWS THE RIDE?
A 2.0-liter, 4-cylinder turbo engine powers all trim levels of the 2020 XT4. This power plant brings a boost in fuel efficiency, and is paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission. It offers 237 horsepower and 258 lb.-ft. of torque.
2019 Cadillac XT4 Sport
FWD and AWD versions of the XT4 are available. My test vehicle featured all-wheel drive, a four-wheel independent suspension, selectable driving modes, stability control and traction control.
Driving modes included Touring, Snow/Ice, and Sport, and can be adjusted based on your driving situation and how you want to get around. There is also an available Active Sport Suspension featuring Continuous Damping Control.
I was happy with the acceleration, handling and overall power of the XT4. Though it is not best in class in any of these categories, it is one of the better performers overall and will satisfy most drivers. The overall ride quality was also extremely smooth, as a luxury ride should be.
One small gripe is that Cadillac uses a unique shifter design that most people wont be used to maneuvering. It doesnt take long to learn it though, so not a huge deal in the long run.
TECHNOLOGY, SAFETY
I have long questioned the quality and user-friendliness of the Cadillac User Experience (CUE) system that was in place for many, many years. And it looks like Cadillac finally got the hint from so many frustrated users, and has made an upgrade to the infotainment setup in the XT4, a truly positive change.
While it still has its quirks, this new CUE system is nowhere near as dramatic and unreliable as the former system was. Better late than never, and Im curious to see future evolution to make it even better.
The updated infotainment system features an 8-inch color display, and is compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for smartphone mirroring. It now offers a rotary infotainment controller, which is much easier to use than the touch controls on the previous system.
Satellite radio comes as a trial and then you must subscribe. OnStar services are available on the vehicle, and you can choose a Wi-Fi hotspot in the vehicle. You also get a hands-free liftgate, universal home remote, and rain-sensing windshield wipers.
Safety ratings are another huge benefit of the XT4. Almost every government rating is at 5 stars with a couple at 4 stars. It may be a smaller SUV, but is still very very safe.
Safety and Security features on the XT4 include: Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Pedestrian Braking, Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, Safety Alert Seat to warn you when you're exiting your lane, Front and Rear Park Assist, and Forward Collision Alert. All of the systems worked very well in my experience and were not overzealous.
An optional feature is an embedded navigation system, which also includes real-time traffic reports. This feature also includes an upgrade to a Bose Centerpoint surround-sound 13-speaker audio system.
An optional driver assist package includes: Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control, Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking, and Reverse Automatic Braking. Wireless phone charging is also an option. Cadillac Connected Apps are available, as are Teen Driver controls, and the vehicle is loaded with air bags. An HD Rear Vision Camera (which looks and works great) and Rear Park Assist are standard features on the XT4.
MPG
Official fuel mileage numbers on the AWD version of the XT4 come in at 22 city/29 highway/24 combined. The FWD version can reach 30 mpg on the highway.
These numbers, courtesy of the new fuel-efficient engine, are near the top of the class in the luxury compact SUV category, and were confirmed during my time driving the vehicle. If fuel economy is a key box for buyers to check, theyll have a lot to like in the XT4.
PRICE
My test vehicle with a good number of add-ons was priced just over $48,000, and the XT4s base price starts about $36,000. These are very competitive numbers in the luxury segment, and will help to attract new buyers who may have a lower budget.
When you consider that the XT4 competes well in most categories against more expensive alternatives, it comes across as a steal.
Warranties include a 4-year/50K mile bumper-to-bumper limited warranty, and 6-year/70K mile powertrain limited warranty.
2019 Cadillac XT4 Sport
BOTTOM LINE
SUVs are the segment where auto companies will make their money going forward. And Cadillac should see success attracting new luxury buyers to the brand with a vehicle like the XT4.
The price is right, its more stylish than many of its rivals inside and out, and the drive is enjoyable. Add to that a bevy of tech and safety features, and you have a truly competitive package.
Especially if someone is looking to buy domestic, they now have a compelling reason to do so.
