the Bureau of Infectious Disease and Laboratory Sciences and the Registry of Vital Records and Statistics; Created by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, Bureau of
Infectious Disease and Laboratory Sciences, Office of Integrated Surveillance and Informatics Services. MDPH 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.) Please note: Data for these tables are based on information available in the MDPH 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. Testing rates are calculated from the number of tests conducted in the geographic area divided by the population denominator (the number of people living in
that geographic area). Rates are used to compare data between geographic areas that have different population sizes.

A person is counted as a confirmed case of COVID-19 when they have their first positive molecular test. They might have multiple tests but are only counted
once.

An incidence rate is the number of new cases divided by the number of people living in the geographic area. MDPH calculates rates per 100,000 population

COVID-19 Molecular Test: The most common kind of molecular test is a PCR test. This diagnostic test identifies the presence of virus’s genetic material.

These tests are very accurate and a positive result means someone has a current COVID-19 infection.

Total Tests: This represents the total number of laboratory tests done and includes people who have had multiple tests.

Hospitalization data includes confirmed cases of COVID-19 in acute care hospitals and alternate care sites (added as of December 6, 2020). Hospitalization
data are provided by the MDPH survey of hospitals (hospital survey data are self-reported).

A confirmed death is a person who died of COVID-19. They had been tested and diagnosed with COVID-19 before they died or were tested after they died,
and the result was positive.

A probable death is a death that is suspect to be COVID-19 related but is not confirmed. Probable deaths have a clinical presentation consistent with a
COVID-19 death, but were not tested and therefore not diagnosed with COVID-19. The number of probable deaths can fluctuate from day to day; some
individuals will have subsequent molecular tests that move them into the confirmed death counts.

The "two week period" or "last two weeks" refers to the most recent two complete weeks. Weeks are defined as Sunday to Saturday.
