As City Extends COVID Closures, Boston Settles In For A Tough Winter
Resume
Here is the Radio Boston rundown for Jan. 5. Tiziana Dearing is our host.
- Boston's holding off on reopening, as the statewide infection rate hovers above 8 percent and just about 40% of the vaccine doses delivered to Massachusetts have been administered. Are we prepared for a full vaccine rollout in the coming months and do you know how to stay safe in the meantime? We take your questions on vaccines with two medical experts.
- For a lot of workers who have to be on the job site every day, their shot-in-the-arm won't come for weeks — possibly months — and the virus lurks just around the corner. That's certainly true for construction workers. We hear about a targeted testing, tracing and treatment initiative to help keep construction workers safe across the city.
- We know depression and anxiety have been up as much as threefold since the start of the pandemic. With long months of darkness and winter remain ahead of us, we check-in on our mental health and ways to cope with two therapists.
