Fall River Health and Human Services director talks about COVID-19

Michael Coughlin
FALL RIVER — For the past ten months I’ve been writing about COVID-19 from a largely statewide perspective. Boards of Health in 351 cities and towns in Massachusetts have been and continue to battle the virus and are now working with the rest of the healthcare community to vaccinate the public.
This month and next I’ll focus on the COVID-19 experience here in Fall River. At the end of January, COVID-19 had sickened over 11,000 Fall River residents, resulting in almost 300 deaths. I recently spoke with Fall River Health and Humans Services Director Tess Curran for an update on the COVID-19 response here in Fall River.

Franklin superintendent says stop partying, traveling, not reporting positive tests

Country Gazette
FRANKLIN — The holiday break for Franklin public school students may have come to an end, but rumors have been swirling that their plans to party or visit others out of state haven't, said Franklin Superintendent of Schools Sara Ahern at a School Committee meeting this week.
Ahern said rumors of house parties and families traveling out of state on weekends have been heard by the administration, similar to whispers heard after a widely attended party on Halloween.
As a result of that indoor Halloween house party, which up to 50 high school students attended, Franklin High School's transition to hybrid learning was halted for two weeks.

Ahern said rumors of house parties and families traveling out of state on weekends have been heard by the administration, similar to whispers heard after a widely attended party on Halloween last year.

Pentucket School District to remain in hybrid model for now

Dec 30, 2020
WEST NEWBURY â After reviewing COVID-19 numbers and discussing options at an emergency meeting Tuesday afternoon, the Pentucket Regional School Committee voted to remain in a hybrid learning model.
During the 90-minute meeting, Superintendent Justin Bartholomew shared information he learned on Monday, saying the timing of the meeting wasÂ "important because if there is going to be a change, if the School Committee wants to make a change, we want to make sure families haveÂ adequate time in order to make that adjustment."
During the two-week period of Thanksgiving, the towns of Groveland, Merrimac and West Newbury had a combined 52 active COVID-19 cases. Over the past 14 days, Bartholomew said the three towns had a combined 136 active cases.

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

COVID clusters and in-person learning; as cases rise can we keep our kids in school?
Updated Dec 12, 2020;
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.
