For the second time this season, Massachusetts is contending with another oppressive wave of heat. The heat wave is expected to continue through Wednesday for most of the region before “somewhat cooler” temperatures arrive by Thursday, forecasters said. Scattered showers and thunderstorms also are possible Tuesday and Wednesday, but there is a “greater risk for unsettled weather” later in the week, forecasters said.

McKee to sign R.I. nursing home staffing requirement into law

McKee signs R.I. nursing home staffing requirement into law Alexa Gagosz © Jessica Rinaldi/Globe Staff The majority of COVID-19 deaths in Rhode Island occurred in nursing homes, and unions have long sought staffing requirements. And on Thursday afternoon, their demands will finally become a reality when Governor Dan McKee signs the Nursing Home Staffing and Quality Act. PROVIDENCE The COVID-19 pandemic made a bad situation worse in nursing homes throughout Rhode Island. Many facilities had shared rooms, and the virus easily spread from one resident to the next. The shortage of personal protective equipment didn’t help. And when hospitals transferred their patients to nursing homes for rehab, they were not always required to test them again for COVID-19, which increased the number of infections.

Mayoral hopefuls, debating in person for the first time, clash over school police, other issues

Boston mayoral hopefuls, debating in person for the first time, clash over school police, other issues Meghan E. Irons © Jonathan Wiggs/Globe Staff At Wednesday’s candidates forum, held at Suffolk County Jail, inmate Autumn Harris (middle) posed a question. Candidates vying to become Boston’s mayor tangled over school policing, the addiction crisis raging along Melnea Cass Boulevard and Massachusetts Avenue, and strategies to curb violence at a public forum Wednesday on criminal justice and public safety. All six candidates agreed that expanded educational, housing, employment, and economic opportunities are needed to address entrenched public safety problems. Essaibi George said schools need to be safe and that the school-to-prison pipeline is “not directly related to school police officers.” Its primary cause, she said, is “the broken education system,” which puts Black and Latino students in separate classrooms and away from crucial services.C

With the end of the COVID-19 state of emergency, a new question: What will the Legislature keep from it?

With the end of the COVID-19 state of emergency, a new question: What will the Legislature keep from it? Matt Stout © Jonathan Wiggs/Globe Staff The future of sidewalk dining is among the aspects of pandemic-era life now in the hands of the Massachusetts Legislature. Governor Charlie Baker is ending the state of emergency in Massachusetts. Now, the Legislature has to decide what aspects of pandemic-era life they want to keep from it. Faced with a suddenly ticking clock, state lawmakers are being pressed to extend, or make permanent, a host of COVID-related rules governing sidewalk lunches, to-go margaritas, and virtual town council meetings before Baker lifts his emergency declaration on June 15.
