Lizzy Guyton, one of the longest-serving members of Governor Charlie Bakerâs inner circle, is stepping down as his communications director later this month, ending more than six years of speech-writing and corralling reporters on Beacon Hill.
Guyton, 33, has been a member of Bakerâs press office since the start of his administration in 2015, and has led it for the last five years, helping shape Bakerâs public messaging through the COVID-19 pandemic, the Merrimack Valley gas explosions in 2018, and a series of crises, both big and small.
BOSTON â Gov. Charlie Baker said he expects the state will reach its goal of 4.1 million fully vaccinated adults by early June, as the state s focus shifts to reaching every pocket of the commonwealth.
With supply now meeting demand for shots, he urged residents on Monday to take advantage of available appointments across the state, at mass vaccination sites, retail pharmacies, community health centers and regional collaboratives.
Today, the Baker-Polito Administration will host a press conference with Secretary of Health and Human Services Marylou Sudders and Massachusetts General Hospital Center for Disaster Medicine Director Dr. Paul Biddinger to discuss progress toward vaccinating the Commonwealthâs goal of over four million people. In December, the state set a goal to vaccinate at least 4.1 million people through a series of phases, starting with health care workers and the most vulnerable populations.

The Massachusetts mandate that requires people to wear face masks outdoors will be relaxed on April 30, Gov. Charlie Baker announced in a Tuesday afternoon press conference.
The governor said face coverings will only be required outside in public when people cannot safely socially distance. People, however, will still be required to wear masks indoors in public settings and places.
The global pandemic has claimed the lives of 17,562 Massachusetts residents, but Tuesday’s news is the latest indication that the state is gradually recuperating as more and more Bay State residents receive the COVID-19 vaccination. Baker has either lifted or eased restrictions so long as the state’s COVID-19 public-health statistics and metrics trend in a positive direction.
