Governor Charlie Baker is warning that coronavirus cases are increasing among younger residents.
Baker says the spike in positive tests in people under the age of 30 comes as virus related hospitalizations in the state are declining.
The state has been focused on vaccinating the oldest and most vulnerable residents. Young people are far less likely to be hospitalized with coronavirus, but Baker says all residents need to keep practicing prevention strategies.
Meantime, the Governor says starting Monday some 25 thousand state residents that are home bound will be able to be vaccinated.
If you are home bound -- there is a number to call--- 1-844-771-1628. That number is good 9 to 5 weekdays.
