Mayor McCarthy: Waltham s vaccine rollout plan
Wicked Local
It is a new year, there is a new administration in place, but there is one old problem: controlling the deadly coronavirus, a pandemic that has taken the lives of over 410,000 Americans, nearly 14,000 Massachusetts residents, and 104 Waltham residents.
Waltham remains in a red zone, designated as a high risk community, regarding the spread of the coronavirus. As of Jan. 21 the city had 4,018 positive cases, 3,382 recovered cases, and 104 deaths from the disease.
There have been a total of 236 cases of COVID-19 in the Waltham Public School district since Oct. 9, 2020.
But there is hope in sight: vaccines are coming.

The City of Wilkes-Barre is ready to accept pre-applications for the Residentsâ Emergency Utility Assistance Program, Mayor George Brownâs Office announced Thursday.

NEW HAVEN City Chief Administrative Officer Scott Jackson will leave his role in municipal government on Jan. 7, according to the mayor’s office.
In a statement released by the office of Mayor Justin Elicker, Jackson said “personal reasons” spurred the decision, but did not elaborate.
“This has been one of the greatest opportunities in my professional life: serving the people of New Haven in this deeply challenging time,” Jackson said in the statement. “I want to thank Mayor Elicker for his leadership and for believing in me. I also want to thank the impressive team of thought leaders in City Hall, on the Board of Alders, and in our neighborhoods who have helped steer this great city under the most arduous of circumstances.”
