Worcester Medical Director Isn't Convinced Now Is The Time To Ease Restrictions

It all comes as the state ramps up the number of people receiving a COVID-19 vaccine

WBUR's Morning Edition host Bob Oakes was joined by Dr. Michael Hirsh, medical director for the city of Worcester, to discuss where we are in the pandemic.
