Calling the new CDC guidelines “great news,” Baker tweeted Friday that his administration will “be updating our reopening plans early next week.”
He also noted that Massachusetts is on track to reach its goal of vaccinating over 4 million adults “soon.”
“Please stay safe while we prepare next steps to return to our new normal,” the governor wrote.

Charlie Bakerâs charmed political life has hit a snag

Remember when Massachusetts loved Charlie Baker?
Not long ago at all â but also, a pandemic ago â people in this state thought they had landed on the ideal governor: a strong steward of the machinery of state government, not progressive certainly, but moderate
enough, a steady hand on the wheel. His approval ratings were the stuff of politiciansâ dreams.
Now, not so much.
A newly released poll conducted by WCVB-TV and UMass-Amherst showed a precipitous decline in the governorâs popularity. The percentage of people who approved of his performance has dropped from 78 percent in August to 52 percent now. Bakerâs popularity dropped across all demographic groups, the pollsters say, with a 38 percent approval rating among his fellow Republicans.
Governor Charlie Baker, who for years has been one of the country’s most popular governors, has lost a third of his support amid widespread criticism of the state’s handing of the coronavirus pandemic, according to a poll from UMass Amherst and WCVB-TV released Monday.
