These High-Risk Mass. Communities Are Moving Back to Step 1 of Phase 3 - NBC10 Boston

More than a dozen communities in Massachusetts are reverting back to Step 1 of Phase 3 of the state's reopening plan after being designated as high-risk communities for three weeks now.

Some of these businesses just opened a few weeks ago under the state’s guidelines and now, today, will have to close yet again.

The state releases its weekly reports based on 14 days of information. There are 13 cities and towns that fall under that category including Chelmsford, Holyoke, Malden, Kingston, Randolph and Woburn.

Businesses like roller skating rinks, trampoline parks, escape rooms and indoor theaters and performance venues have to remain closed during this time.

For other businesses it would require them to reduce capacity from 50% to 40% for places like gyms, libraries, museums, arcades and driving and flight schools.

During this phase, outdoor gatherings at event venues and in public settings are limited to 50 people.

The following is the full list of communities who have been reverted back to high-risk:

• Acushnet
• Brockton
• Chelmsford
• Leicester
• Malden
• Plymouth
• Randolph
• Waltham
• Webster
• Woburn

The rollback of reopening for the 13 communities comes amid a spike in positive cases across the state.

Massachusetts confirmed 24 new deaths and 1,097 more coronavirus cases Sunday, the second straight day the state has announced more than 1,000 new cases.

The high case numbers two days in a row from the Department of Public Health -- the likes of which haven't been seen since mid May -- continue to show a marked increase in the number of cases being reported in the state this fall.
