Count and Rate of Confirmed COVID-19 Cases and Tests Performed in MA by City/Town, January 1, 2020 –
November 4, 2020
Data are current as of 8 am on 11/4/2020; For populations <50,000, <5 cases are reported as such or suppressed for confidentiality purposes. 1 For the calculations used to delineate Grey, Green,
Yellow, and Red, please see table on page 27. 2Number of new cases occurring over the current two-week period (10/18/2020 – 10/31/2020) compared to the previous two-week period
(10/11/2020 – 10/24/2020). Higher=number of new cases in the current two-week period higher than the number of new cases during the last two-week period. Lower=number of new cases in
the current two-week period lower than number of new cases during the last two-week period. No change=number of new cases in current two-week period is equal to the number of new cases
during the last two-week period. 3Change in percent positivity compared to the previous week’s (10/29/2020) report. No Change= <0.10% difference in the percent positivity. Municipalities
marked with an asterisk (*) have either a long-term care facility, institution of higher education and or correction facility with 1) more than 10 confirmed cases in the last 14 days and 2) these cases
make up more than 30% of the total cases for that municipality in the last 14 days. DPH calculates rates per 100,000 population using denominators estimated by the University of Massachusetts
Donahue Institute using a modified Hamilton-Perry model (Strate S, et al. Small Area Population Estimates for 2011 through 2020, report, Oct 2016.) As of 11/5/2020, the Massachusetts
Department of Public Health is using the 2019 population estimates, the most current available data. Please note: Data for these tables are based on information available in the DPH surveillance
database at a single point in time. Case counts for specific cities and towns change throughout the day as data cleaning occurs (removal of duplicate reports within the system) and new demographic
information (assigning cases to their city or town of residence) is obtained.
