Gov. Charlie Baker on Wednesday said Massachusetts is now experiencing the projected surge in new COVID-19 cases.

Dr. James Lederer is chief medical officer and chief quality control officer for Berkshire Health Systems. He's also an infectious disease specialist. He joined WBUR's Morning Edition to discuss the outlook in the Berkshire County.

This segment aired on April 16, 2020.
