Mass Pike service plazas, which are owned by the state, are hubs for road-weary travelers to stop, grab a bite and freshen up before hitting the road again. Because they attract people from all over, rest stops are a potential point of disease transmission.īeginning today, new orders go into effect requiring those entering Massachusetts to either produce evidence of a negative COVID-19 test or to quarantine for 14 days upon arrival or return. Travelers stopping at highway rest stops are not subject to the new rules. In just a few hours, The Eagle noted license plates from Massachusetts, New York, Iowa, Maine, New Hampshire, Florida, Rhode Island, Connecticut and Pennsylvania at the four plazas. Spokespeople for the state Department of Transportation said the facilities have remained open to the public since March to serve essential workers traveling on state roads.
