COHASSET, MASS. (WHDH) - Cohasset police say they’ve learned from state health officials that a town resident has been home-quarantined after having close contact with a person suffering from the coronavirus.
In a post on Facebook, police say Cohasset public safety officials are closely monitoring the situation and remain in contact with their state and federal partners.
Officials said the resident has not shown any symptoms of the coronavirus.
Although there is no known nexus between the resident and the community’s public school system, police officials say they have met with school district leadership to keep them apprised of the situation.
There are no known cases of coronavirus in Cohasset and the risk in Massachusetts remains low. Other towns are taking precautions though — some students in Bellingham have been asked to stay home after travelling overseas, and a Weymouth teacher is in self-isolation at home after getting sick after traveling abroad.
