The volunteer group has pushed for in-person schooling that is"as safe and normal as possible" for students, she said. Sean McAuliffe, Hopkinton's public health director, says the town may decide to make another attempt as the mandate expires. But he's not taking anything for granted."We just can't go into the next three months thinking that we're fine," he said."Until we really get our percent positivity down below below 1%, I'm still going to be a little nervous.”

Chelsea Superintendent Almi Abeyta said the hard-hit city tends to err on the side of caution,"because we were hit so early in the pandemic. ... We will see what our community decides."
