Local COVID-19 updates
Jun. 29th, 2023 06:23 pm( Wall-o-text )
Newly confirmed deaths doubled compared to last week - but at ten, it's still a tiny number for a full week, even compared to the July 2021 calm before the delta and omicron storms. Confirmed cases and tests are also down (no surprise there), as are hospitalizations. Three of the four seven-day averages are down compared to last week; the seven-day deaths average ticked up slightly, from the all-time lowest observed value recorded last week. Massachusetts Water Resources Authority wastewater levels on the north side ticked up slightly and ticked down a bit more on the south side; both are still above one hundred, though, and thus far above the all-time lows.
Not horrible numbers overall, but not really supporting a local "COVID is over!" celebration, either.
