A coronavirus outbreak at a northern Massachusetts seaside town has swelled to over 250 infected following a July 4 holiday surge.
The news comes after health authorities issued a public health advisory on Monday amid 132 confirmed cases linked to the cluster, noting infections occurred in both vaccinated and unvaccinated people. The advisory was issued to help tamp down infections and urge residents to take precautions. Officials advised, regardless of vaccination status, seeking testing, practicing hand hygiene, staying home upon suspected COVID-19 symptoms and masking indoors where social distancing couldn't be followed. Residents were also advised to receive vaccinations if they hadn't done so and were warned over close contact that risks propagating viral spread.More Related News
