Official Text
That the Administration, along with the Director of Health and Human Services share a re-opening plan for schools and businesses, which defines goals, risks and contingencies. Somerville has stricter guidelines than surrounding communities, and the science used to make the decisions for stricter guidelines should be shared with the community. Leading Epidemiologists, and also those living in Somerville, inform us that the goals set in March 2020, are not the goals of February 2021 because the science data for COVID-19 has evolved. The Science world knows more now. COVID is likely to be with us for a long time. Somerville needs to develop a plan to live with COVID, maximizing our school and business opportunities. We have to be adaptive with the emerging science.
