Fortunately, due to the effectiveness of earlier phases, as of June 8th, the state has moved into Phase 2 "Cautious" of the states 4 part Reopening plan. The phases of the plan named "Start" "Cautious," "Vigilant" and "The New Normal,” respectively last a minimum of three weeks, however, If public health data trends are negative, specific industries, regions, and/or the entire Commonwealth may need to return to an earlier phase.

Phase 2 "Cautious" has been divided into two parts. As of Monday, June 8, the following can reopen under certain restrictions:
(This list is not all-inclusive, please see Reopening Massachusetts for an extensive list.)

• Leisure accommodations are allowed to reopen, which includes leisure short-term home rentals.
  All operators of short-term rentals must comply with the hygiene standards and cleaning requirements for the Massachusetts Safety Standards and Checklists: Operators of Lodging guidelines.

Looking forward to Phase 3 "Vigilant" in three weeks time if public health trends allow.
