BOSTON (AP) – Massachusetts is easing some of its COVID-19 restrictions by increasing the capacity limits on businesses from 25% to 40% on Monday. Gov. Charlie Baker announced the change on Thursday and says the higher limits effect locations like gyms, libraries, museums, retail offices, places of worship and movie theaters. Meanwhile, about 120 schools and districts have signed up to participate in Massachusetts’ weekly pooled COVID-19 testing program for students and educators. Testing could start this week. State education officials say that together, the schools represent more than a quarter of the state’s public school students. The New England Aquarium, one of Boston’s most popular attractions, will reopen Friday.
