WORCESTER, MA After several consecutive weeks of declining coronavirus cases, Worcester leaders will allow city restaurants to expand indoor dining starting Monday. The move follows Gov. Charlie Baker s Thursday order allowing a slate of businesses to start reopening.
Worcester City Manager Edward Augustus Jr. said he will allow bar-top dining, an item he had previously prevented due to rising cases during the second wave of the virus.
But in six of seven recent weeks, cases have declined. Worcester added 304 cases since last Thursday, the lowest week-over-week increase since November. But officials still warned residents to keep safe, keep social distance and wear masks even after getting vaccinated.
