Mayor Chris Peabody announced today in a release from the Municipality that Brockton has lifted their declared State of Emergency as of 4pm today.
The declaration has been in place for Brockton since March 23, 2020.
The declaration was made under the Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act and it gave Brockton access to tools, funding and resources to protect residents’ health and safety.
Mayor Peabody says that locally they have seen a low rate of new cases and the vaccination rates continue to rise which allows them to consider this next step.
While the impact of Covid-19 is stabilizing the Brockton Municipal Control Group will continue to meet regularly.
If the situation changes, the Municipality has the ability to move back into the state of emergency.
