Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker defended his order closing churches and offered support today for Worcester city officials who have ordered a pastor there not to have another regular church service open to the public.
But Baker did not issue any threats against the pastor for violating his executive order and did not criticize him. City officials in Worcester have not said what they would do if the pastor of Adams Square Baptist Church holds another service.
Data Haven, a data analytics firm based in New Haven, projects that the Nutmeg State has saved 10,000 lives already with the precautions it has in place and will likely end up saving around 6,000 more. In total, that means it will end up saving about 16,000 lives, by the company's projections.
