Massachusetts families "should enjoy their Thanksgiving" with confidence even as COVID-19 cases tick upward, Gov. Charlie Baker said Monday.
Baker, who toured small businesses in Needham to promote a local shopping initiative, noted that more than 5 million Bay Staters have received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.
Families concerned about the virus could purchase rapid tests to give themselves an added layer of security, Baker added.
"It's still a big opportunity for us to get back to what I would describe as something that will feel more like a traditional holiday," Baker said.

Do you have the honor of making Thanksgiving dinner for the family this year? It's a lot of work, but if you have a plan, you can get it all done.
