As Massachusetts reports a low coronavirus transmission rate even as various sectors of the economy have started up again per Gov. Charlie Baker’s four-phase reopening plan, questions and fears still remain.
Results of a Suffolk University poll from WGBH News, MassLive, The Boston Globe and the State House News Service published last week found that majorities of Massachusetts residents are still wary of engaging in certain pre-pandemic activities, including traveling on planes and using public transportation.
Dr. Armando Paez, chief of the Division of Infectious Diseases in the Department of Medicine at Baystate Health in Springfield, recently told MassLive that residents should feel safe engaging in some of the activities outlined in the survey as long as they conform to state-issued guidelines.
“The new normal is doing social distancing, being aware of your surroundings and using face coverings for the foreseeable future,” he said.
Paez will speak with MassLive during an interview livestreamed on the news outlet’s Facebook page at 9:30 a.m. on Tuesday, June 30, 2020.
He will address some of the fears Massachusetts residents have expressed and talk about how other states are seeing spikes in COVID-19 cases while Massachusetts, modeling suggests, may be on track to handle the outbreak.
Any pandemic-related questions for Paez can be emailed to MassLive reporter Jackson Cote at jcote@masslive.com.
