Starting Monday, offices in the city of Boston allowed workers back inside, but on a very small scale.According to Gov. Charlie Baker's phased reopening plan, Boston office spaces were allowed to open June 1. Other office spaces around Massachusetts reopened on May 25, but Boston officials requested additional time to prepare for their employees to return amid the coronavirus pandemic.On Thursday, Boston Mayor Marty Walsh released guidance and operational recommendations for the city's businesses, employers and commercial landlords to consider as part of their return-to-work strategies for office workplaces."Our first and foremost priority in making available these guidelines is to empower businesses and employers to act now and put in place safety precautions and protocols before beginning to reopen," Walsh said in a statement. "In the City of Boston, we recognize the size of our commercial sector and the unique role we play in the region's working and commuting patterns. That's why it's so important that, as a city, we collectively do everything we can now to institute the necessary safeguards that will allow businesses to reopen in a safe and healthy way when they are ready to do so." According to the guidance, offices in Boston can only allow 25% of their maximum capacity. Workers will also be encouraged to stay at least 6 feet apart and wear masks.In addition, only four people at a time will be allowed inside an office elevator, while shared coffee machines and water coolers have been banned.More information about Walsh's guidance can be found by clicking this link.
