Nurses, doctors and all the frontline medical workers, some sick and doing their job andisolated from their family. First responders, essential workers, dcf social workers and bta bus and train drivers and many many other Public Servants who has always did what they had to do in order to serve us but in some cases suffered terrible loss as a result. For a load or laid off workers who despite coming in early , working the extra shifts found by no fault of their own are left wondering when that job comes back. Everyone suffering under the fear of the unknown amid this pandemic. Everyone has sacrifice a wedding or major moment in life and went without holding their loved ones at the exact time they needed to be held the most area and everyone who lost a friend, a brother, a sister, a mom or a dad, there are tens of thousands of you right now in the commonwealth who have either grieved or are going through one ofthe hardest moments of your life. The toll this virus takes and continues to take on many of us is staggering. But the response, the flight, the millions of people doing what they have to do to push back has beenbrave and bigger. The retired medical workers who came back off the bench and strayed into the covid19 award. The friends and family members who helped one another overcome the fear of the unknown. The parents and guardians who overnight became educators and are still putting in full days working remotely and teaching their kids at home. There are so many examples of massachusetts rising to this occasion and fighting back to list them all. Today, as we start the phase return to our new normal , we are going to ask people once again to rise to the occasion as we continue to fight this virus. Our collective success depends on everyone, government, the private sector and especially individuals playing their part to move us forward. Today we lay out a roadmap to reopening massachusetts while we continue to fight covid19. These two will be inseparable. Getting back to work and fighting covid until there is a medical breakthrough with treatments or a vaccine. And we cannot move forward unless we commit to continuing to slow the spread. To achieve that goal, reopening while continue to continuing to bring the fight every day i test Lieutenant Governor karen polito to work with mike can easily to bring togetherexperts from across massachusetts diverse economy. They listened and they learned from hundreds of points of view. Local government leaders, nonprofits, labor leaders and small and large employers to name just a few. The same time health and Human Services secretary mary lou sutter and the Public Health commissioner monica l consulted massachusetts worldclass healthcare leaders and together are administration developed this plan to move forward. We will progress through four phases. Opening more sectors of the economy and activity only when the Public Health indicates it is appropriate to do so. Each phase will i ask at least three weeks but may last longer if the public data doesnt support moving forward. As i said earlier, it has and will continue to take a toll in massachusetts. It remains to all of us, government, the Employer Community most of all the rest of us as individuals to continue to fight back against the virus. Because that is the way we move forward through the spaces. The report lays out not only wish sectors of the economy are slated to open and when but it lays out how business reopens while fighting the spread area and most importantly, this report lays out what you must do to enable us all to movethrough these phases. This effort will hinge fundamentally on personal responsibility. As everyone knows we are not helpless in this fight. We all have roles to play. And you have proven time and time again that you can play them area we continue to ask everyoneto do for things. Cover your nose and mouth when you cant distance yourself. Science is clear you will face coverings prevent the spread of this disease incredibly effectively. Wash your hands and Wash Services often. This one needs no explanation. Keep your distance, again , we all know this one by now its as important today as it ever been and more so as we start this reopening process area morally say about six feet apart from one another never possible the more we stop the spread. And lastly they vigilance for symptoms and stay home if you think youre sick. We all know this one bynow to. Alone each of these four things can be highly effective atslowing and killing the virus. You have the Scientific Research now that makes that much clear. But together, these four things areexponentially more powerful. And we are asking the private sector to support theiremployees , to be creative, to support working remotely whenever possible and to follow the guidance that our team developed to prevent further spread. Sticking with these critical tasks is everyones responsibility. And how well we do them will dictate how well we massachusetts. State and local governments will continue to set testing capabilities alongside our Community Using program. Testing and tracing will remain integral to get ahead of this virus containing and a critical part of our ability to keep the economy moving. As i said before, we have all been doing our job to fight back and as a result, positive case rates are moving in the right direction. And hospitalizations aredown. The Public Health metrics that guide this process mean its possible to reopening manufacturing facilities and construction sites effective today. And were permitting more sectors of our economy to open effective may 25 and others on june 1 under phase i. Senate governor polito will talk more about how this law lays out new rules of the road for those industries specifically the things businesses need and must do in order to reopen while effectivelyfighting the virus. These first steps, manufacturing and construction provide these businesses all the guidance weve developed as limited facetoface and customer interactions. In many similar operations open now under the essential order, have been responsibly balance and fighting the virus aswell. Starting a week from now, were permitting office space to reopen to 25 percent of its capacity except in boston. Mark on may 25 retail establishments may offer Curbside Service and some personal services such as barbershops and hair salons may reopen provided they follow the new rules in this report. Places of worship will also be permitted to open with guidelines in place starting today. A number of outdoor facilities and recreation activities may also resume a week from now as well as in accordance with those new rules. In our Healthcare Facilities will be permitted to begin seeing more patients on an agreedupon scheduleover the next two weeks. I want to make clear that the reopening Advisory Board and the team made every effort to be as clear and direct as possible when it comes to the new requirements these businesses must follow. But this is something no ones ever done before. Shutter, then reopen everything from a beachfront to a factory floor with standards in place to slow the spread of a highly contagious virus. So i ask everyone to keep this in mind. This guidance asked people to change behaviors. And it changes the waysome of our Favorite Places look and feel. This is not permanent. At some point there will be treatments and ultimately a vaccine. But for the foreseeable future Everyone Needs to continue to do the right things to bring the fight to the virus so we can continue to move forward. Today the department of Public Health also updatedthe stayathome advisory to reflect this state of the reopening process. The new safer at home advisory instructs everyone to stay home unless they are headed to a newly opened the facility or activity and also advises those over the age of 65 and those with Underlying Health conditions to stay at home except for absolutely necessary trips to things like healthcare andgroceries. This new advisory is important. As we enter this space reopening is important to remember everyone is safer at home. The virus will be with us throughout the reopening process. And everyones required to cover their nose and mouth you cant maintain 16 of distance from those around you. Everyone has a responsibility to wash their hands, distance themselves from others and be vigilant about symptoms. So that you can stay home and you could stay home if you feel sick. How well everyone does these things will determine how well we move into later phases. Youve all heard me say we cant afford to take the ones that forward only to the fourth two steps back. I know we all prefer to believe that the virus isless serious now and that is behind us. Its nice outside. I understandably feel like months. I think we understand all of this. Collectively we have flattened the curve and avoided the spiking cases that would have broken our Healthcare System. But if we dont keep up the fight and dont do the things that we all know we have to do, and know we can do , we run the risk of creating a second spike in the fall. We asked a lot of the people in the commonwealth since this all began and thankfully millions and millions of people have answered the call and play their part. Once again, people need to be vigilant, they need to be careful and they need to understand the role that they can play themselves as we continue to bring this bike to the virus. Its how we move forward together. With that ill turn it over to the Lieutenant Governor. Thank you governor and goodmorning. Id like to start by acknowledging the members of the reopening advisoryboard. On behalf of our entire administration are incredibly grateful to all of you in your work. This plan required a tremendous amount of thought, planning and preparation board. And the many hours and days that we Work Together are processed with the diverse and consistent of a collective group of voices that engaged in a productive dialogue to layout this plan. This board consisted of an extremely talented group of dedicated people and as we met with associations businesses and residents, the members of the board were engaged and compassionate insured a variety of forces. Or listen to and were at that table. Our work also would not have been possible without extensive municipal engagement. Officials at the local level across our commonwealth, we are thankful for the direct involvement of the many mayors and town managers who advised us and advised us and workedwith us. And while we have made clear that the Public Health data and guidance will dictate the timeline of moving into new phases, it is important that we continue to listen to and support our businesses across this commonwealth. Pacifically, we have established a new restaurant accommodation and tourism workgroup consisting of industry representatives and municipal leaders that we will continue to have discussions with help us determine the industryspecific protocol for meeting our Safety Standards. This group will help us shape the guidance that will allow these industries to reopen and when the data allows for it, they will do so safely and with in mind the need to continueto fight the virus. As the governor said we will continue to support the Business Community as they implement the mandatory work Safety Standards forreopening that we announced last week. Business is operating to provide essential services will have until may 25 to comply with thesemandatory Safety Standards. Businesses newly opening in phase i must comply with these standards before they open. And as we reopen and keep fighting covid19, we are providing three areas of guidance for each sector, industry and business to follow. Youve heard us talk about the General Social guidance, covering, watching and distancing and for businesses , the mandatory Safety Standards for their workplace and the specific safety protocols and best practices about how to meet those standards. Specific guidance and recommended best practices aimed to reduce the risk of covid19 transmission and specific industries though that each industry safely reopens. Businesses are expected to implement these protocols and in addition to the general mandatory workplace standards standards and protocols and the best practices are often to help businesses comply. Starting today the materials for the businesses and sectors eligible to open in the first pay phase are included on the reopen massachusetts website mass. Gov reopening. Each sector will have access to a sector circular to document. A resource which will include specific mandatory Safety Standards and recommended best practices and social distancing, hygiene protocols, staffing and operations and cleaning and disinfecting for each vector. They will also have access to a sectors checklist included in the circular developed to serve as a guidance for employers and businesses of all sizes as they adjust their operations. The administration will require businesses to self certified and what that means is that businesses must develop a covid19 control plan outlining how its workplace will implement the Safety Standards in order to prevent the spread of covid19. These required materials are located on the reopen massachusetts website and they include a covid19 control plan in place. This is a draft. You do not need to reinvent the wheel. This is a place for you to start, you should use it. A compliance attestation poster trading to your workforce and the public that you have incorporated these Safety Standards into your workplace in and are posted to show signs and posters describing the rules for maintaining distancing, hygiene protocol, cleaning and disinfecting. Again businesses in phase i must complete these steps in order to open and the essential businesses that have been operating will be required to complete these steps by may 25. These workplace Safety Standards will be jointly and forced by local boards of health, the department of Public Health and the department of labor standards. We will Work Together with our partners at the local level to move forward through this process. Enforcement actions may come from a worker or a customer might initiate a complaint. But the goal with enforcement is to educate and promote compliance. We want workplaces to be safer and to incorporate these standards into their places of operation. And working with these in towns we will support our businesses and give them the tools they need to succeed as they make adjustments and welcome back thereworkers. And as we continue to move forward towards a new normal, we will continue to post the guidance for sectors opening later faces online and in advance so as businesses in this kind of uncertainty can prepare and plan for when that time comes. Governor baker outlined what we can expect to see in phases. And its important that we continue to each play our part and be cautious and careful as we together work to reopen show that so that we can move forward and not backwards. We will continue to follow the data to make determinations of gathering sizes, restrictions and capacity limitations based upon the tests. And we know that many of our homegrown businesses in every corner of our state are suffering. We want to get everyone back up and running with appropriate to do so based on the Public Health metrics outlined today. And it bears repeating that massachusetts has been one of the hardest hit states in our country. Right on new york and new jersey and we must be cautious and vigilant as we reopen. And as i mentioned about planning and preparing, our restaurant accommodations and tourism workgroup convened this past weekend and we will help them develop procedures for safe reopening. And campgrounds and playgroundsand the community , athletic fields and youth sports will resume operations in phase 2 with guidelines. We currently planned phase 3 will allow for the opening of the arts and entertainment, gems and other business activities. This will all push us towards phase 4, a full result of activity and what described as a newnormal. If youre businesses listed in phase 2 or phase 3, in order to start working on your reopening plans now you can visit the website, the reopen massachusetts website to access the general workplace Safety Standards that all businesses are required to comply with. You can get a head start and look at those and start to think about howyou will adjust your workplace. There are a couple of key components that transcend all of this. Our childcare and Public Transportation. In march we stood up an Emergency Childcare system to support children of essential workers and vulnerable families. Asked survivors mitigation protocol. We are incredibly grateful to those providers who have stepped forward in the midst of this crisis to provide these essential Childcare Services to children and families. Now, during phase i Emergency Childcare system we have already in place will be utilized to meet the needs of people with no alternatives for care. We are also encouraging families to continue to find any alternatives to group care to help stem the spread ofthe virus. Now currently only 35 percent of our Emergency Childcare capacity is occupied. And the system has capacity to serve more families, to provide care options as more workers had back to work sectors become active again. The system we established as you may recall add capacity or 10,000 children statewide. And we are 35 percent capacity today. As the next step of Early Education and care and dba are developing additional open Safety Standards which are being reviewed by Childrens Hospital make sure when we are ready to fully reopen childcare camps that we are ready. He will have more to say on that as we prepare for the future phases. On that same day we are aware summer camps serve an important purpose. Not only for our children but for our families. Dba is partnering with local boards of health to develop Health Guidelines to be implemented in over 1400 camps across our state. To enable a safe reopening of those activities. Pending Public Health data, it is possible that cant could reopen in phase 2 with limitations and specific Safety Standards in line with easy guidance. That should be available in the next couple of weeks, the timelines and theguidelines that we apply. Now in transit we know how important Public Transportation is for the daytoday lives ofworkers and families. The mbta has been and will continue to implement measures to slow the spread of covid19 across the system. We cannot significantly reduce the risk of transmission across the system without the cooperation of customers and the Employer Community. Writers are required to wear face coverings must make efforts to distance. Employers are encouraged to stagger schedules and implement work from home policies to reduce demands during rush hours. Moving forward, to mitigate risk while providing appropriate levels of service , the mbta will do the following. In phase i, support the trend needs of essential workers and those returning the workplace while continuing with limited service to maximize employee and writer safety. Ramp up to a modified version of full service by phase 3. We will also frequently disinfect and clean vehicles in stations and provide protective supplies to workers. The team will also actively communicate Public Health guidance and schedule adjustments in station online over social media. Enclosed before i turn it over to secretary kenny lee i want to say that today as we move forward in implementing this plan, i am confident in everyones ability to play their role, individuals and businesses, everyone must do their part. Following through on the measures we are developing in the private sector responsibility andindividuals. Everyone has to do their part. The next few weeks are really important to make sure as the governor said we are vigilant , cautious and doing our part and together with state and local governments supporting businesses and helping them incorporate the workplace Safety Standards in each step of the way, the commonwealth can stay ahead of this virus and safely and successfully reopen massachusetts. And as we balance the shared goals of maintaining both Public Safety as well as activating our economy we are faced with a new challenge of living with the virus. Our roadmaps provides us with a plan and adirection point to get started. The saying that tough times never last, tough people do is never more appropriate and now. The people of massachusetts are strong. We are resilient. Weve come through tough times before and we will come through this tough time again. We will continue to fight this battle and we will get through thistogether. I now want to turn it over to secretary kenny lee, but i wish to thank him and the et staff in the lg staff for amazing focus. Your strength and leadership in keeping us on task, for meeting this deadline. Its been a real honor towork with you on this very , very Important Development of a plan, but more so for helping to balance the safety and needs of the Business Community of our commonwealth and with thatsecretary kenny lee. Good morning and thank you governor and Lieutenant Governor. I feel honored as well and our team has stepped up. In the last few months weve dealt with a new economic reality in our state and our country and around the world and in the many communities, businesses and people that make up our economy have suffered but we are confident today we can Work Together to get up and running again. About three weeks ago the governor announced the formation of the reopening Advisory Board, cochaired by myself and the Lieutenant Governor and it made up of 17 leaders in healthcare, business and municipal government. We had spent the last three weeks meeting and collaborating with more than 35 business associations, labor unions, nonprofits and Community Coalitions collectively represent more than hundred 12,000 businesses and more than 2 million employees. We also considered more than 4600 pieces of written feedback. We engage stakeholders in analyzing information in over 45 hours of zoom meetings and if you look at this list i think its just an amazing list. Where so grateful to all these folks who stepped forward to share their news this list trulydoes represent the strength and diversity of our state. And to each of my fellow board members, i just cant thank you enough for your professionalism, your active engagement and your unwavering commitment throughout this process. Input was invaluable to crafting this reopening plan and we will continue to rely on your insights as we move through the fourphase reopening. And were so mindful always of the great sacrifices that businesses have made during this pandemic. As we reopen massachusetts, we will look to our Companies Large and small to be partners in reducing the spread of covid19 in workplaces. And this commitment will be absolutely essential as we move through all four phases of reopening and i want to highlight a few things in particular here. First and foremost, businesses are able, we strongly encourage you to have your employees continue to work from home. And this is incredibly important to the reopening plan because reducing the number of employees in the workplace reduces the risk of transmission and will help reduce the number of employees that need to utilize Public Transit and childcare. Secondly if your Business Model does require employees to come back to a physical workplace, we encourage you to think about ways you can stagger shifts. We also encourage you to give priority for Workplace Accommodations to employees over the age of 65 as well as employees with Underlying Health conditions and third, to reopen safely it will be important for businesses to get the right supplies. Sanitation supplies, cleaning supplies and hygienic supplies and we have two things to sayin that regard. Done two things to address those concerns. We cannot educational materials that will define how an employer should prepare workplaces to reopen and what products are appropriate or employees to protect themselves at work. For example these materials we will explain these will be on our website will explain what can be used as a face covering, how to where it safely, when gloves are necessary and which materials to use disinfecting and sanitizing and in our many discussions with Industry Groups without the need for a lot more clarity on some of thesematters. For example medical grade face coverings are not necessary for workers in most industries and should be reserved for healthcare workers and first responders. The second wave we tried to address is the need for supplies is that we launched a portal to connect massachusetts businesses in need of supplies with manufacturers are producing and selling these materials in the commonwealth and this portal does include the made in massachusetts manufacturers that have pitted to producing these supplies as part of the massachusetts manufacturing Emergency Response team. I think when the governor announced this he said it was an inspiring effort and it really is. Its been inspiring to watch 430 company from massachusetts permit to repurpose their production lines to make this material and 27 companies have gone all the way through the process and produce about 3 and a half million pieces of ppe today. So for our company we want to be partners so please purchase the supplies and Safety Measures, train your employees. Protect your customers. For more information on our reopening Advisory Board, go to mass. Gov reopening and we look forward to working with you. Thank you. I think im now going to turn it over tosecretary sutters. All right. Secretary kenny lee, Lieutenant Governor, commissioner burrell. Good morning area we are grateful for the exceptional efforts from our Healthcare System in response to the pandemic. From our hospital emergency departments, our intensive care unit to our Community Health centers who are responding to Community Needs including testing and Contact Tracing and Everything Else that a Community Health center does read our Healthcare Systems never shut down during the pandemic and in fact they stepped up. Telehealth has reached thousands of massachusetts residents to meet their physical and behavioral healthcare needs remotely and we need for that to continue. As part of the governors reopening plan, effective today we are allowing highpriority Preventative Services including pediatric care, immunizations and chronic disease for highrisk patients and urging urgent procedures or care. For now at risk. Across the commonwealth are Care Hospital systems at 30 percent availability or both icu and medical surgical inpatient care. Acute Care Hospitals and federally qualified for hospital licensed Health Centers who connect capacity and Safety Standards such as havingadequate ppe , workforce patient screenings may expand their services. These services are intentional to meet the needs of highrisk populations including communities of color and our children. Expanded Services Include as i said highpriority Preventative Services including pediatric care and urgent procedures that cannot be delivered remotely and would lead to highrisk for significant worsening of the patients condition the bird. Based upon providers clinical judgment. Effective may 25, other Healthcare Providers who can attest to meeting specific capacity and Safety Standards will be allowed to provide a limited set of diagnostic and treatment procedures. I cannot emphasize enough the importance of continuing telehealth. Providers should continue to maximize it and provide services virtually whenever possible and appropriate. Individuals with nonemergent needs to call their Healthcare Providers to determine next steps. Details of our healthcare and Human Services openings and be found on the fauci webpage. We must prepare for hotspots to occur, extended testing and tracing are crucial for beating back the disease. As the governor highlighted last week, to support increased Testing Capacity we will submit our transport testing plan to the government no later than may 24. Our future states protecting include increasing capacity for 45,000 tests per day by the end of july and increasing that number to 75,000 by the end of december. Our goal is to decrease our positive test rates to less and five percent. And we want to expand Lab Processing capacity to prepare for potential search and detest residents and patients in highrisk target settings including our Skilled Nursing facilities, correctional facility and faith operated or financed. State hospitals and group homes. We want to ensure the Testing Capacity for individual who are symptomatic, asymptomatic and who been in close contact with someone with covid19 recently and individuals whose employment places them at high risk of exposure to individuals who are covid19 positive. We will also improve access and turnaround to provide for same day or next day results from the majority of tests. Commenting this strategies is contingent on federal funding. Our plan is not for universal testingeveryone in the state. Covid19 testing options are constrained but rapidly changing and the cost to deploy at scale is prohibitive so our plan pairs us for the future of more economic and seasonable testing options in with visual social distancing protocols and guidance and measured reopening strategies. That is our new normal. Once a week we will release a Public Safety dashboard, a stoplight if you will, red yellow and green of six indicators to note our progress. Mark trending positive, in progress for trending negative. They include what is our covid19 positive test rates, the number of individuals who have died from covid19. The number of hospitalized patients with covid19. Our Healthcare System readiness, are Testing Capacity and Contact Tracing. The daily backpacks as many of you know will be modified a little for Additional Data elements including individual hospital capacity, icu in total and additional longterm care data among others. As you note, today two of the indicators are green. Healthcare system readiness and the decline in positive test rates. As i said across the state we had 30 percent availability for both icu and medical surgical beds. Individual hospitals may very and we are only using approximately one third of our current Testing Capacity, thats why that is also green. The others are in progress and of course until we only have a handful or we can only say we are trending positive in that area. In order to sustain the progress to date and to move us forward in the reopening of our commonwealth all of us must continue to be vigilant about hygiene, wearing face coverings and engaging in social distancing. These very important Public Health and Safety Measures are our best tools at this time to protect ourselves, our coworkers, our families and our communities. Iq. Governor. Questions. [inaudible] first of all, as the Lieutenant Governor said in her comments about the work of the Advisory Board we do have a significant amount of capacity thats currently available in childcare sites in the short term and folks are continuing to work on creating what we would call the appropriate safe operating model for childcare Going Forward this is something where we had conversations with our colleagues in other states and in some cases with our colleagues in other countries. Its one of those issues that Everybody Knows they need to find an answer on and we fully expect this as we roll forward to going to have to find one too but in the meantime therewill be significant capacity available to the existing systems. [inaudible] thats part of the reason why these folks put together the attestations sheet for the businesses. First of all this is a roadmap and to start. Im so grateful to be hospital care, all the frontline workers that made this day possible. And the roadmap is indeed just that but we also heard throughout this process of the reopening board from stakeholders, industry leaders, Business Owners about their readiness andalso about the barriers to reopening. The readiness is their readiness to transform their workplace in terms of incorporating the safety features needed so that their workers and the public that they do business with would feel safe so i think thats important and why we work really hard with municipal officials and really listening to the Business Leaders about that readiness piece because its about developing concepts for workers to feel safe in returning to their jobs. And as part of that standard, the Employer Needs to address what if my employee becomes sick with it while working on to develop a plan around that as part of their reopening strategy. And we also have taken into consideration the enablers around childcare and transportation. There are some employees that cant work from home and to develop safe options for them to care for their children as well as safe option for them to access Public Transportation and then we cant state enough how important as we begin to reopen, some activities and the way we decided how to open is to balance the Public Health and safety needs with the level of risk associated with that kind of business and workplace. And to measure, monitor and survey over the next three weeks and see how were doing. Thats why its really important as the governor said, as the secretary said and as we have said as a board that people need to do their part and employers and people at home as you take on more activities. Face coverings, distancing and handwashing are key. Unlocking the next phases of activity. I like to just point compliance into perspective. Because we dont want to have fine. What weve done through preparing these specific protocols and best practices which weve done with businesses, talking to us about how they would incorporate these Safety Standards into their workplaces is to make what is challenging, to change their workplace and easier and more , and easier task to accomplish. Thats what welaid out best practices. We laid out guidance, layout literally how to document. Prepared a template. This is what your safety plan components need to look like. Heres the document. Heres a checklist so that you can verify that you have incorporated these teachers and your workplace than a poster to literally demonstrate to the public and demonstrate your workforce that you have incorporated these safety features as you reopen. So compliance is a responsibility and employer has area but whos going to keep them hold them accountable. It will be a worker doesnt feel that there putting that practice in place or a customer who doesnt seethat these Safety Standards are in place. And when that happens , that person can call their local board of health and then the enforcement of that standard and that workplace will be done in conjunction with local boards of health, our department of Public Health and our department of labor and standards. And if there are multiple check ins with this workplace and i still they still havent complied, thats when a Fine Associated with disobedience of the standard would comeinto play. [inaudible] yes, its laid out. Typically in the guidance that we have shared with municipalities. Weve done a lot of work with our municipalities to lay out these important programs including laying out the specific signs for not complying. [inaudible] first of all i think the most important thing that has to happen here as it has to be done safely and has to be done in compliance with the best practice standards that are available and in this particular case the team wants to get this right and so do we. Itsmostly a function of making sure we get it right. Didnt Jennifer Hall asked methat question last week . [inaudible] first of all, we said from the beginning on this that we were going to follow what i would describe as best practices and data and the data that weve been able to collect through the work of the reopening Advisory Board through the work that the command center and the department of Public Health has been used incorporate this plan and i think if you also talk to look at what people in other countries and people in other states are doing with respect to how theyre Going Forward on this stuff the way they are choosing to measure and monitor, what happens as a result of that, these are all elements that we basically make into our proposal and i fully expect that on a go forward basis because of the incredible amounts of anxiety that comes with both ends of this picture is the concern about the publichealth piece which we completely understand and we spent a tremendous amount of time talking about, monitoring and god bless people in massachusetts were only done to get us to where we are on the economic side tremendous anxiety associated with that and we understand that as well but reopening Advisory Board which has very smart people in it, and i met with 1billion different organizations of one kind or another. Basically laid out what they felt was a careful and a cautious approach to this and when we talk about this last week i said jonathan, what are people going to say when you put this out there going to say were going to fast and were not going fast enough and i would just remind everybody that we believe this report developed by a lot of really bright, smart people who both worked in various sectors in the commonwealth, live in different regions and operate in different regions of the commonwealth contacts and relationships with people in other states to help inform our decisionmaking along with the very talented and worldclass health care and Public Health people we have to develop what they consider to be a balanced approach to this the one point i would make everybody and i said this five times in my opening remarks. The process associated with these phases is afunction of how we do. And how we you as a function of how we as respect to managing the Public Health issues as we begin this reopening process. People need to understand and need to have a face covering. They can keep their distance from other people the business from other people would be best. Wash hands, hygiene and all that stuff. And recognize and understand that we are going to Pay Attention to the public data as we move forward and its going to be critically important for people to continue to do the things that theyve been doing get us through this point over the course of the pastsix days. I said all along what was 25 our decisionmaking around this was going to be data and to the extent there were experiences in other places we can rely on. We would rely on that as well and i think the pace, i believe the phases were set up in the report. I think the work they did in conjunction with both in the Healthcare Committee and i especially believe the work that we got already wrap up our testing and then develop a tracing initiative and continue to grow and expand are the right things to be doing at the right rate of speed. I would say that the construction and manufacturing pieces build on what we were describing what you described as existing operating models but i would say that the industry specific guidelines and the global guidelines are ones that all have to comply with whether they been opening or they can open ornot. And i think for some of them, thats going to require some work over the course of the next few days which is appropriate and necessary. With respect to the time frame around this, at least three weeks. Between phases but it could be more. That is going to be a function folks of the data. And it says right in the report. The move to the next phase is going to be a function of a review of how were doing in the faith that we are in that the all about the Public Health data. What the Public Health data does show that our flights. Will you be, you may have to shut the system down again. One of the reasons for expanding our testing protocol and investing in our tracing program is so that we have the ability to act quickly if we do come across outbreaks or hotspots. I certainly think we are going to be riveted to this notion that we all have a responsibility with respect to dealing with the virus and everybody needsto keep doing the things they been doing. We quit a very aggressive testing protocol in place. Were going to build on we have an aggressive Tasting Program were going to buildon that. And were going to do the things we need to do in partnership with our colleagues in thecommonwealth. To try to limit the growth of the virus but people need to understand that we are playing this game and its a real one with the virus in the economy at the same time. The reason there is not one and the reason there is six is because they operate as a package, and were going to rely on the guidance we get from these folks in from the medical Advisory Board at the command center with respect to how to interpret these numbers as we move forward. Say again. [inaudible question] i which a couple things. One is, you knew, we got hit a lot harder by covid19 and by the coronavirus than most other states. In fact, there are really only, depending upon how you do the math there are only two or three that got hit harder than we did. But the top five for all intents and purposes is massachusetts, new york, new jersey, massachusetts, illinois, michigan. Those of the top five states that took the biggest hit associated with covid19. But anyway you would choose to measure it. And i think that creates for us a different way of thinking about how we work our way out of this than you might seem places that didnt have the same seriously consequential hit that we had. [inaudible question] yeah, sure. [inaudible question] no. [inaudible question] yeah, sure, absolutely. First of all, if youre going to do curbside it make sense to do curbside for everybody, the whole point behind curbside is it doesnt our people to go inside and stand around. Theres plenty of evidence at this point that inside spaces with a long period of time in which people are there, especially if they dont have the ability to socially distance, is probably the biggest and most significant opportunity for spread which is why the curbside is to some extent as a much more viable and attractive option, especially given the fact that our numbers are sort of green and mostly yellow with respect a lot of the key measures here. [inaudible question] our view is no change in state law. [inaudible question] so it is our hope that one of the things that flashes all the way through this report is, you know, vulnerable populations, protect vulnerable populations, okay . Vulnerable population should do everything they possibly can to stay at home and to recognize and understand the significant risks that covid19 presents for them. And i think its our hope that will be something that our colleagues in the religious community will take very seriously when i think about how they want to offer in Person Services to their congregations. The guidance that was developed on this is very particular and very clear. And again, it came out of conversations with a bunch of folks in the religious community as well as folks in the healthcare and Public Health community. I said from the beginning, and a note the Lieutenant Governor feels the same way because we talk about it, that taking away the opportunity for people to worship together was one of the worst of all of the decisions that we had to make in all this. And i am expecting and anticipating based on the conversations the reopening Advisory Board had with communities of faith and weve had communities of faith, that people will be diligent and serious about making sure that what they do with regard to reopening will work for them and for their congregation. [inaudible question] i think they are on the website. [inaudible question] thats one of the reasons why we created the task force to take a look at the issues associated with those particular industries and that will be one of the issues the Lieutenant Governor and secretary and the task force speak to. [inaudible question] State Government, i cant speak for the the building is basically managed on a tripartite basis between us and the Legislature Come although its more peoples building and the legislators building that it is ours. They and we havent talked about how they want to handle this place and space. But State Government generally is, on the executive side, has been open all the way through here, and the big challenge for us and it will roll out over the next couple of weeks and well make sure people have noticed, is were going to have to open up some stuff that we either started doing online or dramatically reduce the amount of customer facing activities that we did. We will be rolling that out over the course over the next few weeks. We fully expect to put as much of what we possibly can back in service. [inaudible question] federal order. Federal order. [inaudible question] the youth sports stuff is being worked through the reopening Advisory Board and are a lot of people who frankly gave you guys some really good ideas but how to do this. The professional stuff is running to a different channel. [inaudible question] no. Last question. [inaudible question] say again . [inaudible question] well, its mostly reopening for purposes of what i i would describe a sort of lab work and research with guidelines, okay, they have to abide by the general guidelines and they have to abide by industry industryc guidelines. The conversation about the fall, the discussion there, is ongoing. I would expect that to get resolved at some point over the course of the next four or five weeks, but that hasnt been, that hasnt been answered yet. For business for reopening what is their testing option . Willie have will they be expected to send employees elsewhere . I think what i would say first of all is a lot of that would be laid out in the federal application. But at this point in time, there are sort of four levels of testing which the secretary spoke to. Broader definition of an symptomatic testing, asymptomatic testing of close contacts, testing of people who work on a continual basis with folks who were dealing with covid, which would be healthcare folks and some of the folks in municipal government and State Government, and then folks who work with vulnerable populations. And underneath that would be employerbased testing where we are basic going to put up the capacity and it is going to be up to them to decide what to think the appropriate protocol for them and their employees based on whatever the circumstances are. [inaudible question] like around something in particular . [inaudible question] the biggest thing i would say, first of all, about memorial day is there are many communities that have events for memorial day that are typically held at cemeteries and other sort of sacred ground. And i know communities are going to work hard to make sure that you do events like that, the people of our purply distance and to wear masks and to do all the things they are supposed to do. That is a very important event, and i know for many people, including the two of us, its especially important one. I guess what i would say is people need to continue to use their head on this stuff and to recognize and to understand that were still in the middle of this virus, that its not gone away, that we still a positive tests every single day in massachusetts, that weve made a lot of progress on hospitalizations but were continuing to carry a lot of our Surge Capacity on the hospital side forward because we believe we may need it and it needs to be there as part of the system, and that what people really need to do is be smart and vigilant and recognize and understand that with respect to whatever they choose to do. But thats pretty much been the message we have delivered around almost all activities and certainly around outdoor activities. Just be take advantage of the guidance that so may people have made available and understand and recognize that its really important for us, whatever you choose to do, that you not spread the virus or get it from somebody else. Could you clarify the difference between the stayathome and [inaudible] i think it says right at the bottom of the thing. You should limit your play dates. The safer at home low order looks like a lot of the ischemic and advisory, advisory. What it does is it incorporates some of the new guidance associate with the reopening advisory and the order associated with that into the safer at home guidance. Its not a dramatic departure from where we were, but it does reflect the fact that we are pursuing at this point a phased reopening. Thank you.
