Nantucket Now Under A State Of Emergency

Nantucket is under a State of Emergency due to the pandemic. 

Officials at Nantucket Cottage Hospital are asking residents on the island not to come to the hospital unless they require emergency care or for a situation that would require them to be admitted, or are an expecting mother in labor.

Officials are also asking anyone who has come to the island to shelter from other cities or towns -- that they have few resources thanks to the surge in cases that could quickly overwhelm the facility. 

They say if you have a choice, stay off the island.
