Notes

Listed on the mass.gov index ('DPH Order... dph-elective-surgery-order' with hospital and ASC guidance); the May 18, 2020 order (read) presupposes the postponement by permitting only attesting providers to resume 'high-priority preventative care and urgent procedures'.

Retrieval note

Not fetched after three attempts; date confirmed from the index and the sequence of DPH orders read.
