FALL RIVER Daniel Hendrie won’t have any difficulty adjusting if and when Gov. Charlie Baker reinstates an executive order mandating that masks must be worn in indoor public places.
“I wear a mask everywhere I go,” he said one recent afternoon, after walking out of the Staples store at SouthCoast Marketplace.
The Fall River attorney said his immediate family and friends, “every last one of them,” have been taking the same precaution since a national public health emergency in response to the COVID-19 pandemic was first declared in March 2020.
And when it comes to erring on the side of caution in social situations, Hendrie, 73, says he’s got it covered.

FALL RIVER Play ball!
That’s what Fall River City Council President Cliff Ponte said, in a manner speaking, when asked if social distancing restrictions will be lifted for council meetings starting June 8.
“With Fenway Park opening on May 29 for 40,000 people, I don’t see why the City Council would put additional restrictions in place,” Ponte said.
The first Fall River City Council meeting scheduled to be held after that date will be June 8.
Baker also announced that the state of emergency in Massachusetts, which took effect in March 2020, will end on June 15.
The governor in April had announced that restrictions would be lifted on Aug. 1, but improving coronavirus health statistics convinced him to push the date up by two months.
