My town is now reporting their first COVID-19 case:
Acton Public Health Nurses are working closely with the resident and will notify others who may have been in contact with them. The person with COVID-19 is in isolation and is recovering at home, per DPH orders. Public health officials are conducting contact tracing to identify and provide guidelines to anyone who has been in close contact with this case.

In order to protect the resident’s medical privacy rights, no additional information will be disclosed about the patient.
The Commonwealth's COVID-19 website does not have a press release listed for today; however, there is a daily update from the Department of Public Health reporting ten new deaths (for a total of 25), 579 new cases for a total of 2417, and "more than 23,500 individuals" having been tested. (Yesterday's total of 19,794 persons tested implies roughly 3700 tests completed yesterday.)

The big news, though? For my money, it's how Charlie Baker almost - almost - cussed out loud during today's press conference when asked about getting supplies on the open market: https://twitter.com/LiamWBZ/status/1243252795966402561?s=20
