Town of Falmouth Announces Beach Management Plans
The Town of Falmouth has developed an initial plan for the 2020 beach season consistent with State guidance and in consultation with the Select Board and other Cape & Island towns. The plan includes a 50% reduction in the number of parking spaces available at each beach to facilitate social distancing. Signage will be placed at all beaches identifying the social distancing and hygiene requirements set forth by the Commonwealth. Parking Attendants and Lifeguards will not enforce social distancing but will generally monitor for overcrowding and report concerns to supervisors. Further action may need to be taken if the public health is jeopardized by overcrowding or non-compliance with social distancing. This approach is generally consistent with that of other towns in the Cape and Islands region.

Special Enrollment Period for Uninsured MA Residents as a result of COVID-19
The novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, which causes the disease COVID-19, poses a clear and acute threat to the health and welfare of Massachusetts residents. Responding to this threat requires adequate access to the resources necessary to receive appropriate testing and treatment. Given that health insurance coverage increases the likelihood that residents will seek out those tests and treatments, the Massachusetts Division of Insurance has announced a Special Enrollment Period effective immediately until June 23rd for currently uninsured Massachusetts Residents.
The 2020 Census is still happening. You can respond online, by phone, or by mail.
