[Massachusetts-NFB] Urgent: Cambridge Chapter Holiday Party Attendee Tested Positive For Covid-19

[Justin Heard]

This is the last email I will write on this particular case. Everyone was exposed. We ate together in a small, packed space with no masks on while we ate and drank. Therefore, it is irrelevant who the person is. Coming to the holiday party had this risk. I expect everyone to have taken that into account and to take necessary precautions. If anyone needs assistance getting tested, or needs help finding resources to recover from the virus, please let us know and we will offer any available resources. 
Have a blessed day.

For privacy reasons, I am not stating which member tested positive. The attendee is experiencing symptoms similar to a severe cold. The attendee has not needed to go to the hospital. Nevertheless, please keep everyone suffering from the virus in your thoughts in prayers. So far, I know of only one infected attendee, but I will keep you all updated.
