State of the Town: Latest COVID-19 news and developments, plus our guide to local services

Updated Thursday, April 23, 2020, at 5:30 p.m.

Harvard Press reporters are tracking the decisions of town government, businesses, schools, and other organizations as they adjust to state and local efforts to slow the spread of COVID-19. This State of the Town provides readers with a single source of verified information on the latest advisories and orders, what’s open, what's not, and how to get help. We review this information periodically and update the report Monday through Friday. Please send suggestions, updates, and corrections to editor@harvardpress.net

These updates are free, but please support our work with a subscription.


Recent developments

The end is not in sight. The number of confirmed COVID-19 cases in Massachusetts jumped by 3,079 Thursday, a new daily high, according to the state’s Department of Public Health. The statewide total of confirmed cases now stands at 46,023, while the number of deaths related to COVID-19 has risen to 2,360, a  number that Gov. Charlie Baker called “staggering.”

In his daily briefing Thursday, Baker said he was troubled by a sharp decrease in the number of patients seeking attention for serious issues such as heart problems, kidney dialysis, and cancer treatment. “We know these medical conditions didn’t stop when COVID-19 picked up,” Baker said. People should still go to the hospital if they have any kind of medical emergency. Baker was joined by a number of hospital officials who said  there is no shortage of beds. Area hospitals prepared adequately for the COVID-19 surge and have the capacity to treat other medical conditions as well

According to the MDPH’s town-by-town weekly report released late Wednesday afternoon, the number of Harvard residents who have tested positive for COVID-19 increased by two this past week. That brings the cumulative Jan. 1 through April 21 total to 13. For the complete MDPH town-by-town list, go to https://bit.ly/3bizD1F.

Town caucus canceled; nomination papers due May 14

The Town Caucus to nominate candidates for office in the June 23 Town Election will not be held this year due to the COVID-19 state of emergency and Gov. Baker's order prohibiting gatherings of 10 or more people. 

With the terms of current officeholders expiring in May, voters will be asked to fill two seats on the Select Board, two on the School Committee, two on the Board of Trustees of the Harvard Public Library, and two Trustees of the Warner Free Lectures. To see the names of officials whose seats will be up for election, goto https://bit.ly/2zqLzAx

To appear on the ballot, incumbents and candidates must collect the signatures of 25 voters registered in Harvard—each on a separate nomination form—and submit them to Town Clerk Marlene Kenney by May 14. Kenney recommends that a candidate get more than 25 signatures in case some cannot be certified. For nomination forms and instructions on how to use them, goto https://bit.ly/2Kucr4S.

School will remain closed for rest of year

The biggest story so far this week came  Tuesday, April 21, when Gov. Baker announced that all public and private schools will remain closed through the end of the school year. Non-emergency child care facilities will stay closed at least until June 29.

At Baker’s Tuesday press conference, Commissioner of Elementary and Secondary Education Jeffrey C. Riley said his office will soon issue updated guidelines for schools to support remote learning efforts through the duration of the school year, including expanded STEM learning, and will prepare recommendations to strengthen summer learning opportunities for students. For further information, check out the governor’s press release at https://bit.ly/2XTedEF

Unemployment assistance is available to gig workers

Help is finally making its way to Massachusetts residents who are not eligible for regular unemployment benefits. They  can now apply online for the new Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA) program. 

The new federal PUA program provides up to 39 weeks of unemployment benefits for those who are unable to work because of a COVID-19-related reason but are not eligible for regular or extended unemployment benefits. This includes self-employed workers, independent contractors, gig economy workers, and those with limited work history. Applicants can learn more and apply at www.mass.gov/pua.

In spite of protests in a number of states last weekend urging the reopening of closed businesses, Gov. Baker remains cautious. At his Wednesday press conference, he noted that Massachusetts is a national hotspot for COVID-19 infections. He said residents need to stay the course and  maintain social distancing. “If we move too quickly [to open up], we risk losing the progress that we have made so far,” he said.

Look for more details about the impact of the virus on Harvard and area hospitals in this week’s issue of the Press. .


Helping Hands

Loaves & Fishes food pantry in Devens, which serves Ayer, Devens, Dunstable, Groton, Harvard, Littleton, and Shirley, is reopening  Friday, April 24. Pickups will be available from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. twice a week for at least the next month. The full schedule and pickup instructions are available on the website at loavesfishespantry.org.

 If a resident who is a Loaves & Fishes client does not feel safe going to the pantry for a pickup, they can call the Council on Aging at 978-456-4120 and ask for the COA van to deliver their order. This service is available to any Loaves & Fishes client, not just seniors.

The pantry is in need of monetary donations to keep the shelves stocked during this time of increased need. Donations can be made online at loavesfishespantry.org/donate-now, or by mailing a check to Loaves & Fishes, P.O. Box 1, Ayer, MA 01432.

Volunteers in less vulnerable age groups are needed, email volunteer@loavesfishespantry.org if you can help. Box trucks and drivers are also needed to take turns doing the weekly pickup of 15,000 pounds of food at the Greater Boston Food Bank. Pickups are on Monday or Tuesday morning or early afternoon. If you can help or know someone who can, contact foodcoordinator@loavesfishespantry.org.

Harvard Council on Aging Director Debbie Thompson says that any senior who needs a mask can contact the COA, and someone will either leave the mask on the front porch of Hildreth House, or it will be delivered by the COA van. Thompson said every mask will come with information on how to clean it. 

Thompson said she has enough volunteers for the Adopt-a-Senior program. Seniors who would like to be matched with a volunteer who will check in with them regularly, make trips to the grocery store or pharmacy, or provide other assistance, should contact the COA at 978-456-4120. Note that volunteers try to consolidate trips to limit their own risk, so they may not be able to go to a specific grocery store.

Emerson Hospital is accepting monetary contributions and supplies. A list of what is needed is available on the “How You Can Help” page of Emerson’s website at https://www.emersonhospital.org/coronavirus-covid-19-resources/covid-19-help. The hospital currently has enough hand-sewn masks. 

Due to the pandemic, this year’s annual 5k Run~Walk for Cancer Care will be virtual. The event is an important fundraiser for the hospital “because cancer never stops, even during a pandemic.” All proceeds go directly to support patients who receive cancer care at Emerson Hospital. Registration is now open; for more information, go to https://www.emersonhospital.org/articles/2020-virtual-5k-run-walk-announcement.

Nextdoor Harvard has a Help Map feature, which allows residents to sign up to help neighbors or to get help from a neighbor who has signed up. The Help Map appears on computer browsers on the Nextdoor homepage in a box to the right of the main column. On the Nextdoor mobile app or in a mobile browser, it will be a choice in the “More” selection of the main dropdown window.


Current orders and advisories

Thursday is Harvard’s 37th day under a state of emergency. State social distancing advisories and orders aimed at slowing the spread of the virus remain in effect, captured in the slogan posted on the town’s website: Stay home, stop the spread, save a life.

Essential Businesses: Only businesses designated as essential are open, allowing local restaurants, equipment stores, garages, food stores, and package stores to continue operating, subject to state guidelines. Watch this bulletin for changes in business hours and offerings.

Harvard recreation sites, including fields, playgrounds, parks, McCurdy Track, and the beach, are closed until May 4, but residents are allowed to take boats out on the pond. The parking area overlooking Fruitlands on Prospect Hill Road is closed.

Harvard’s conservation trails are open, but subject to new guidelines issued by the Conservation Commission.(See “Playing fields, parks, beach, and Conservation Trust trails,” in this bulletin.)

Face coverings The Harvard Board of Health, the state and CDC advise residents to wear face coverings in public settings. The recommendation adds to the hand-washing, stay-at-home, and social distancing advisories already in place. For more information on making and using face masks, see CDC instructions and guidelines at https://bit.ly/34HbDmy.

Contact tracing To track the contacts of confirmed COVID-19 patients, public health nurses with the Nashoba Associated Boards of Health will call anyone in Harvard, Devens, or in any of the 17 towns it covers to alert that person to the potential exposure.  The state has launched a statewide contact tracing program in collaboration with Partners In Health, to be known as CTC. According to the state’s advisory, phone calls from this Contact Tracing Collaborative will appear on a caller ID as “COVID Community Team.” The advisory urges people to answer such calls to mitigate the virus’ spread. 


Federal and state taxes 

  • The federal and Massachusetts 2019 individual income tax filing and payment deadlines have been extended from April 15 to July 15.
  • Harvard has extended the due date of 2020 property tax bills to June 1, 2020. This applies only to fourth-quarter bills that were originally due May 1. Interest will still be applied to unpaid 2020 bills from the first, second, and third quarters.
