Chatham Coronavirus Cluster Linked To House Party
Sixty people attended a party that was largely without masks and social distancing. The town is now feeling the impacts.
CHATHAM, MA — Chatham health officials are alerting restaurants after nine people, with restaurant ties, tested positive for COVID-19 after attending a house party in Chatham earlier this month.
Dr. Robert Duncanson, Director of Chatham’s Department of Public Health, said social distancing and mask-wearing was not enforced at the party that around 60 people attended. That decision is now impacting the Cape community.
“Young people here in the summer, are often working at restaurants and they’re hanging out with each other,” said Tracy Shields, owner of Hangar B in Chatham.
