News Roundup: Coronavirus Potential Brings Disruption and New Precautions

Dan Tritle

WCAI News Director Steve Junker hosts a roundup of some of the week's top local and regional news, including: Cape hospitals and nursing homes restrict visitors as a precaution against the new coronavirus, even as questions arise about testing locally and in the state; we round up preparations and cancellations around the region; and the Cape Cod Commission gives a favorable report on the plan to restore the Herring River.

This week's guests are: Ethan Genter of the Cape Cod Times; Bill Eville of the Vineyard Gazette; Tim Wood of the Cape Cod Chronicle; Alex Darus of the Provincetown Banner; Jack Spillane of the Standard-Times; Josh Balling of the Nantucket Inquirer and Mirror; Brian Dowd of the Martha's Vineyard Times; and WCAI's Mike Deehan and Eve Zuckoff.
