Massachusetts Governor Baker announced a new travel order for the State this week, requiring all out of state visitors, (with some exemptions), to provide proof of a negative Covid 19 test result OR quarantine for 14 days if visitng the state.
We are in phase 2 of re opening and anticipating another busy summer on the Vineyard.
Our priority is to keep everyone safe and healthy and to keep following the guidelines that the state of Massachusetts is recommending so that we can all continue to enjoy this beautiful island.
When everyone was planning their summer vacation 2020, no one could have predicted or planned for the situation we are now facing due to Covid 19. Unfortunately many Vineyard summer events have been cancelled, but SUMMER IS NOT CANCELLED - its just going to look a little different this year!
With SO much information being shared on social media and email, we thought it might be useful to have a few links to places that provide accurate up to date information and help for the community of Martha’s Vineyard - both residents and visitors. We will continue to update this list as information is available.
Here are some suggested island (and worldwide), resources and links regarding Covid-19 and Coronavirus.
