our apologies but I do have a life in the "real world" and have to get back to work...
....Breanna freaking out on COVID outbreaks...in a city that is already in the RED ZONE
juicy juicy...read us late tonight...
Today, our Board of Health is in the process
of contact tracing two separate and significant clusters of COVID-19
cases within the City of Medford: one from a potentially oversized
gathering at Raso’s Grill, and another from a large Thanksgiving
gathering at a private home.
For the cluster linked to Raso’s, there are
several dates where employees and patrons may have been exposed. The
Board of Health is continuing to contact trace, however: If you
dined at or ordered takeout from Raso’s anytime between Monday, November
23rd and Monday, November 30th, please contact the Medford Board of
Health Resource Line as soon as possible by calling 781-475-5644. Leave a message, and a staff member will return your call.
Yesterday the City of Medford had
54 positive cases in one day,
making this our third-highest daily case rate overall. Like the entire
state, we are seeing a surge in cases. We have urged everyone to be safe
and follow regulations, especially for wearing masks and avoiding
gathering sizes. And while the vast majority are doing the right thing
and following the rules, I am incredibly sad, disappointed, and angry
that others continue to be irresponsible and put people at risk.
People have sacrificed so much in these last
10 months. We have worked hard to get kids back in school, to keep our
businesses open, and prevent hospitals from being overwhelmed. The
blatant disregard for following the
guidelines and orders from the State including gathering sizes, and from what I am seeing, people not wearing masks, is putting our community at risk.
We are and will continue to take this
seriously. We are contact tracing, conducting investigations, and will
continue to take action as necessary including issuing fines to any
person or business who violates existing COVID-19 regulations.
