Thousands of older people who live in Cambridge become eligible for Covid-19 vaccinations in two weeks, yet it’s not clear who will give the shots and how. The same is true for essential workers, second on the state list for coronavirus shots.

Cambridge Health Alliance’s two hospitals in Cambridge and Everett are jammed and may run out of space for new patients if the pressure continues to worsen in the next two weeks, while officials express concerns about preparations for a mass vaccination program.

People in a mental health crisis, especially children and teens, are waiting as long as a month in Massachusetts hospital emergency rooms for a bed in a psychiatric unit – including 30 just in Cambridge and Everett.

The Broad Institute is helping the state Public Health Lab look for the unusually transmissible Covid-19 variant that has exploded through Britain to at least 30 other countries – and has now been found in Colorado, California, Connecticut, Florida, New York, Georgia and Pennsylvania.

Cambridge reported 63 new Covid-19 cases Thursday, another post-spring high, bringing new orders for managers and employees; and a look at the rollout of vaccines citywide and how to measure infection rates.

On first glance, it seemed clear: The city’s 2020 resident satisfaction survey shows that “people are feeling good about Cambridge.” Some city councillors, though, wanted to know more about which people.

Ten more Cambridge residents died of Covid-19 since mid-December, three of them living in public housing developments for elderly and younger disabled tenants, while the city’s testing capacity is strained to the point of needing correction, officials say.

Residents living in Cambridge public housing developments are dying from Covid-19 in disparately high numbers, accounting for a far higher percentage of deaths than their proportion of the total population. Their burden is coming to light as deaths from the virus begin to mount.

Not to be outdone by the administration of Gov. Charlie Baker, the City of Cambridge on Wednesday rolled back business and other activities further than it had intended just two days before – and more than Baker ordered Tuesday.

After weeks of deliberation and debate, City Manager Louis A. DePasquale was poised to order new Covid-19 constraints on businesses Tuesday when Gov. Charlie Baker upended the plan with his own, more restrictive rollback.
