Because the way we gather and report COVID-19 data has changed so much since the pandemic began, it can sometimes be difficult to make apples-to-apples comparisons between our current state of affairs and the information we had in March and April. This is especially true when comparing new case numbers, as we are testing far more people than we did at the beginning of the pandemic (which is good) but does ultimately result in higher case numbers.

Select Board Quarterly Recap: July – September 2020
The Select Board has several critical functions, many of which have been upended by Coronavirus and the closing of Town Hall to foot traffic. Challenges are not unusual, and while it may be difficult to have meetings, the residents of Holliston have been able to engage and participate much more often. The paradigm of 2020 has meant greater input from the residents of the Town, even if it seems more isolating than before.

I hope you and your loved ones have a safe, reflective, and happy Thanksgiving, no matter how you are celebrating. If this year has taught us anything, it’s that we cannot take any of life’s blessings for granted, no matter how small.
COVID-19: November 24, 2020 Update from Representative Dykema
As the holiday near and the COVID-19 pandemic persists, this may be a difficult time for many of us and our loved ones. The stress and anxiety created by the health and economic impacts of COVID-19 haven’t gone anywhere, and for some, the holidays may be painful reminders of the loss of loved ones or the isolation created by social distancing.
