The city of Springfield moves to the next step in the “Road to Recovery” from COVID-19 Friday, going from the red to the yellow phase.
The yellow phase has thresholds requiring under 40 new cases of COVID-19 per day, under 50 hospitalizations, and at least 25% of people vaccinated.
All three of those thresholds have been met.
Mask wearing will still be mandated in public places, and occupancy limits will continue to be in place at movie theaters, music concerts and similar places where people are in close proximity.
