Amidst the numerous questions about Massachusetts' coronavirus response, one keeping popping up: Will non-essential businesses open up again on May 4?

Gov. Charlie Baker was asked again for an update on the ban during a press conference on Monday, but he reiterated his statements from over the weekend, expressing a need for a plan to reopen.

"So as I said in my remarks, we are continuing to see what I would call a plateau with respect to our hospitalization rates," Baker said. "...We believe that it's important for us to create some clarity around this issue with respect to May 4 and you'll hear from us later on this week on that."

Boston Mayor Marty Walsh, however, took a hard stance during a press conference today, saying the city would not be reopening on May 4.

"There is no question that May 4 is too early," Walsh said, noting serious concerns about relaxing some of the safety measures already put in place.

"I can tell you right now, Boston will not reopen on May 4."

The question comes on the heels of other states, such as Tennessee, Georgia, Oklahoma and Alaska, beginning to loosen restrictions on their economies.

In Georgia, Gov. Brian Kemp has reopened gyms, nail salons, barber shops, and other businesses. He's, however, received backlash from many, including President Trump.
