The rate of new cases of COVID-19 is slowly inching downward in Massachusetts, as are hospitalization rates. And the state is reporting fewer deaths each day.

But Memorial Day weekend marks the unofficial beginning of summer, and as Massachusetts gradually opens businesses back up, how worried should we be about a second wave?

This segment aired on May 25, 2020.
