Baker: Surge in new virus cases driven by people under 30.
BOSTON (AP) — Gov. Charlie Baker says the recent surge in confirmed coronavirus cases in Massachusetts is being driven in large part by an increase among younger people. The Republican said Tuesday that 15% of new cases in April were among people under the age of 30 but that 37% of the new confirmed cases are people in that age group. He urged people to stop holding indoor parties and reminded people that outdoor trick-or-treating on Halloween is safer. Baker also urged people to limit Thanksgiving gatherings to members of the same household and limit guests.
