COVID cases up since last Wareham Board of Health meeting
WAREHAM – COVID cases have gone up markedly since the previous Board of Health meeting last month.
Health Director Bob Ethier said during Wednesday s meeting that the latest weekly tally was 77 confirmed cases and seven probable cases, which represented an uptick.
That’s 31 more cases than the last weekly tally presented to the board on March 17. There have been 1,616 confirmed cases in Wareham since March 2020.
On the positive side, Wareham Housing Authority residents have been getting vaccinated through the state and WHA director. “They’re all set” at the WHA’s two residential complexes, Ethier said.
Wareham’s health officials are working to set up a town vaccination clinic. But the supply of vaccines is slim, and the town will likely only be able to access a limited number of doses 100 doses per week.
“We’re still trying to get qualified,” reported Bob Ethier, the director of public health, at a Feb. 3 Board of Health meeting.
He’s getting the logistics in line: Finding appropriate refrigerators, nurse volunteers to administer the vaccines, and a location.
Ethier said he is planning a drive-thru clinic near the Middle School.
“We’re working on this, so just be patient. We hope that we can get some vaccines as soon as possible,” Ethier said. “I know people are frustrated, and I know people are scared. We’re doing everything we can to get the state to provide what we need.”
