SALEM, MA — As Salem Hospital President Dr. David Roberts urged all coronavirus mitigation efforts possible ahead of a potential omicron surge, and both residents and Salem Board of Health members expressed concern about equity and enforcement of a vaccination order to enter city businesses, the Board did not vote on any renewed indoor business mask mandate or a business-entry vaccination order Tuesday night.
The one coronavirus-related action vote the Board did take was to endorse what was presented as Mayor Kim Driscoll's proposal that all city and school employees must be vaccinated against the virus early in 2022. Currently, unvaccinated city and school employees have the option of weekly testing.
"It seems like we have a consensus that none of us feels comfortable taking a vote on a mitigation measure," said Board member and Acting Chair Paul Kirby. "Which kind of satisfies nobody. There are people who want us to do something right this instant. There are other people who want to have some assurance that we won't ever do it. And neither one of those things is happening tonight."

While most of the public comment was against a business-entry vaccine order, the strongest voice in favor of one was Roberts...(who) said the best way to avoid a future surge is near-universal vaccination and the best way to achieve that, in his opinion, is a vaccine order that prevents unvaccinated people from doing everyday things that people like to do.
"We should protect the vaccinated people of the city of Salem from the unvaccinated," he determined. "And we should make it difficult for unvaccinated people to interact with vaccinated people."
