Officials from nine North Shore communities say they are prepared to restrict indoor activity and roll back reopening plans if COVID-19 cases continue to rise. "We are particularly troubled about impacts to our hard working residents in the healthcare workforce," reads a joint statement released Wednesday. "With little remaining capacity at our region’s hospitals, everyone is negatively affected, even if the reason for your hospital visit is not COVID-related.” The statement was signed by officials from Salem, Beverly, Danvers, Peabody, Swampscott, Marblehead, Gloucester, Nahant, and Lynn. They said they released the joint statement to encourage North Shore residents to continue to take the virus seriously and avoid contact with people from outside their households.
