BOSTONÂ â Roughly a quarter of efforts to contact people who may be infected with the coronavirus because of a close contact with someone who has tested positive are unsuccessful, according to state health data.
The stateâs COVID-19 Community Tracing Collaborative, a partnership between the Baker administration and the nonprofit group Partners in Health, has reached nearly 146,000 people who might be infected since getting underway in April, according the Department of Public Healthâs weekly COVID-19 report.
About 70% of individuals whom tracing investigators attempted to contact went into self-quarantine or were listed as subject to monitoring.

COVID clusters and in-person learning; as cases rise can we keep our kids in school?

In Framingham, Superintendent Robert Tremblay said he has noticed something alarming: cases of coronavirus were starting to spread among students.
This fall, Massachusetts education officials have said schools are not leading to significant spread of the virus among children. But some districts, like Framingham and Billerica, have reported transmission they believe occurred in buildings.
“So for whatever the CDC might be saying or whatever the governor or the commissioner of education may be saying, that it’s safe to come back to school and schools are not the nexus of where spread is happening, we have evidence to the contrary in our community. And maybe we’re an anomaly, but it’s a concern and it’s one we have to be paying close attention to,” Tremblay said last week during a school committee meeting.
