Each week, the Department of Public Health releases community-level numbers of COVID-19 testing and positive case totals. Our town-by-town numbers in this week’s public health report can be found below:
Holliston: 156 (+16 from last week)

The town-by-town numbers in this week’s public health report, which I normally share with you on Thursdays, have been delayed until tomorrow, November 6th. In the interim, I wanted to provide a brief update on the COVID-19 testing being conducted by our state’s colleges and universities.

As you know, one of the areas most impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic has been education. Our school districts, teachers, staff, and families have all worked incredibly hard to preserve student access to safe, high-quality learning during an extremely uncertain time.

Thank you to all of you who did your civic duty by voting today, and a special thanks to all who voted by mail or voted early to keep Election Day crowds low which in turn helps keep our poll workers, public safety officials, election officials, and neighbors healthy. Finally, thank you to all who worked hard to make participating in this election safe and accessible under extraordinary circumstances.

As case numbers continue to climb both here in Massachusetts and across the country, the administration today announced new measures and updated guidance designed to keep community spread of COVID-19 low.
