Lynn, Medford, Swampscott, Beverly Enforce Stricter Rules for Restaurants, Customers

On Friday, we reported that two communities in the Greater Boston area are requiring both restaurant workers and customers to wear protective face covering. Now we have learned that four other communities in the local area have instituted similarly strict rules as well.

According to a post from masslive.com, an article from itemlive.com, a community update page, and another update page, the city of Lynn is now requiring restaurant workers to wear masks or another form of face covering when interacting with the public or other employees, while Swampscott, Medford, and Beverly are all requiring both restaurant workers and customers to wear face covering, with the difference being that customers in Lynn are not allowed to go into restaurants, instead having to rely on curbside pickup, drive-thru, or delivery. (It looks like diners in Swampscott can go into restaurants to pick up their meals for now, as can Medford and Beverly diners.)

Late last week, it was learned that both Brookline and Salem are now requiring that restaurant workers and customers wear a mask or some other kind of protective face covering while inside dining spots.
