EVENING.
WE WILL LOOK AT THE FORECAST
INCLUDING TROPICAL HUMIDITY,
MOVING BACK IN.
A HOUSE PARTY WITH CAPE COD
RESTAURANT WORKERS IS NOW BEING
LINKED TO A CORONAVIRUS CLUSTER.
GUESTS AT THAT PARTY WERE NOT
WEARING MASKS OR SOCIALLY
DISTANCING.
AS WE REPORT FROM CHATHAM,
RESTAURANTS THERE ARE NOW ON
ALERT.
Reporter: THE OWNER, TELLING
WBZ AFTER AN EMPLOYEE SAID
SOMEONE TESTED POSITIVE, THEY
HAD THAT EMPLOYEE GO INTO SELF
QUARANTINE.
YOUNG PEOPLE HERE IN THE
SUMMER OFTEN WORKING AT
RESTAURANTS, AND THEY ARE
HANGING OUT WITH EACH OTHER.
A RECIPE FOR DISASTER, AS
COMMUNITIES TRY TO CONTAIN THE
CORONAVIRUS.
HEALTH OFFICIALS IN CHATHAM
ALERTING RESTAURANTS AFTER NINE
PEOPLE WITH RESTAURANT TIES,
TESTED POSITIVE FOR COVID-19,
AFTER ATTENDING A HOUSE PARTY
EARLIER THIS MONTH.
THE INFORMATION WE GOT FROM
THE STATE WAS THAT SOCIAL
DISTANCING AND MASK WEARING WAS
NOT TAKING PLACE.
FOR EVERYBODY'S WELL-BEING,
IT IS NOT DIFFICULT TO WEAR A
MASK, WASH YOUR HANDS, SOCIAL
DISTANCE.
WE CAUGHT THESE VACATIONERS
WAITING FOR THEIR PICKUP ORDER
AT THE HANGAR, THE RESTAURANT
LOSING A QUARTER OF ITS STAFF,
OFFERING TAKEOUT ONLY, AFTER AN
EMPLOYEE'S FRIEND TESTED
POSITIVE.
IT SEEMED LIKE THE SAFEST
THING TO DO WAS TO ANYBODY THAT
HAD MAYBE BEEN INTERACTING WITH
THIS GROUP OF YOUNG PEOPLE, TO
JUST ISOLATE AND NOT COME IN
FOR 2 WEEKS.
I THINK THEY ARE PROTECTING
THEIR EMPLOYEES WHICH IS
PROBABLYTHE BEST THING THAT WE
CAN DO IN THESE SITUATIONS.
Reporter: AT THE HEIGHT OF
THE TOURISM SEASON, OFFICIALS
ANNOUNCING FIVE NEW CASES SINCE
LAST FRIDAY.
WITH SEVEN IN ISOLATION.
IT FEELS LIKE IT IS ALMOST
INEVITABLE THAT IT IS GOING TO
HIT US AGAIN.
Reporter: AN EMERGENCY ORDER
ISSUED TUESDAY, THE TOWN
ENFORCING A MASK ORDER STARTING
THURSDAY.
I DON'T SEE THE BIG DEAL AND
WEARING A MASK.
