“Thanksgiving eve celebrations are back,” Richard Raso posted on his Facebook page in November, announcing that for the first time in months his Medford restaurant, Raso’s Bar & Grille, would be open all day. Patrons were urged to make a reservation if they wanted a table.

“Covid-19 rules will be fully enforced so we kindly ask that everyone be considerate of these hard times and pressures on restaurants as we face another potential shutdown,” wrote Raso, a Medford police officer.

But a patron who was at Raso’s that day soon tested positive for coronavirus, and local health officials have linked the popular neighborhood spot to at least 30 cases involving people who had been there around the holiday. The outbreak along with a second cluster traced to a large Thanksgiving gathering at a private home have contributed to Medford’s largest surge in infections since the spring: more than 700 new cases since Thanksgiving.
