Bourne lawyer Jay McMahon, who is running for the Massachusetts Senate in the Plymouth & Barnstable district as a Republican, is calling for reopening golf courses.
McMahon said he thinks the courses could open safely and not pose a threat to spread coronavirus.
Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker has repeatedly said he and his advisers are looking at certain key metrics to determine when to reopen the state's economy.
"What I would say is that everybody has said you need to see downward trends. Downward trends," Baker said during a coronavirus press conference Tuesday, April 28. "We don't have – on one of the key measures, one of the ones I pay the most attention to, and I know most of the folks who are part of our team pay attention to, which is hospitalizations for COVID-19, and ICU use for COVID-19 — yes, it's flattened out. But we have not seen a downward trend there. And that's a really important measure about what's going on out there in the community generally."
