Current Office Status
All Town Offices are Open to the Public
On Feb. 28, Hingham Public Schools implemented a mask-optional policy in its buildings and on its busses. On March 3, the Hingham Board of Health lifted its mask advisory. On March 4, the Town Administrator lifted the masking requirement in non-school buildings in town, effective March 7. These decisions leave masking an individual’s option in all town-owned facilities.
