The Town of Hopkinton is “strongly recommending” residents wear face coverings indoors in order to prevent further spread of COVID-19. The town is in the midst of a “recent uptick,” with the local schools especially being affected.

The advisory is for when individuals are indoors and not in their own home.

“This is based on guidance from the CDC, and driven by Middlesex County’s community level rating of high,” the town’s Monday press release reads.
