WORCESTER Mayor Joseph M. Petty said Thursday that spring is a time of celebration and renewal, and said the increasing supply of COVID-19 vaccinations is giving people some sense of seeing light at the end of the tunnel.
But he cautioned that we re not quite there yet, and the city s virus and vaccination numbers this week reflected a mix of unease and optimism.
At Thursday s weekly briefing at City Hall, City Manager Edward M. Augustus Jr. confirmed another 359 cases of the virus for a total of 22,370 since the start of the pandemic.
Augustus said that represents an increase of 48 cases over last week s numbers, adding that he hopes it s a blip and not a trend.

UMass Memorial Health Care is no longer the name, that is.
UMass Memorial, the largest employer in Central Massachusetts, is dropping Care from its name as part of a rebranding the hospital group says reflects its fighting of the coronavirus pandemic over the past year. The Relentless Pursuit of Healing is the new tagline for the rebranded UMass Memorial Health.
The new branding was unveiled on social media Monday, and UMass Memorial created a TV commercial featuring scenes of its caregivers, many donning personal protective equipment. President and CEO Dr. Eric Dickson said dropping Care from the name reflects a philosophy to not only care for patients who are sick but to care for the overall health and wellbeing of everyone. That includes addressing food insecurity, homelessness, chronic unemployment and gaps in education, he said.
