Indoor performance venues and recreation centers in Massachusetts can open to 50% capacity, and restaurants no longer have capacity limits. There are a lot of mixed reactions to this: some see it as much-needed relief for local businesses who have been struggling for the past year, but others think we're moving too fast.

We take listener calls with Dr. Shira Doron, an infectious disease physician and hospital epidemiologist at Tufts Medical Center, and Dr. Mark Siedner,  clinical epidemiologist at Massachusetts General Hospital and an associate professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School.

This segment aired on March 2, 2021.
