Acushnet Fire Chief Gallagher pleased with town’s “dramatic improvement” with COVID cases

“A MESSAGE FROM THE CHIEF:

“Last week, we tested 101 individuals for Covid 19. Only one positive case was reported by the lab! From where we were just a few weeks ago, this is a dramatic improvement.

“As a hockey Dad I can not count the times we started celebrating a win too early. My son’s coach would tell the team the game isn’t over until after the final horn sounds.

“That is wise advice as we continue to fight this virus. Numbers are improving but can spike quickly. It is up to each and every one of us to play through the final horn. Keep your mask on, keep social distanced, keep doing all those things that resulted in just one Acushnet resident getting “the” phone call this weekend.”-Kevin.
