As of Jan.15, Mayor Michelle Wu's B Together policy — a mandate requiring proof of one COVID-19 vaccine dose to enter certain indoor spaces in Boston — came into effect.
Restaurants were originally slated to reopen their outdoor spaces April 1, but Mayor Marty Walsh announced Friday the date would be moved up due to a forecast for warmer weather.
Gov. Charlie Baker lifted a November order mandating restaurants to close between 9:30 p.m. and 5 a.m., allowing local businesses to return to late-night service.
