It is the first time the facility has had zero COVID-19 cases since the pandemic began in 2020. 

“This is a milestone that we didn’t know when or if we would ever see,” Shira Doron, MD, chief infection control officer at Tufts Medical Center, told WFXT.

Although it is a milestone long hoped for, Dr. Doron remains cautiously optimistic, according to the news outlet, pointing to the fact that COVID-19 is not behind us and any subvariant could emerge driving cases back up worldwide.
