With many of our communities, including the four towns in the 8th Middlesex District, seeing low rates of new COVID-19 infections and the statewide positive test rate sinking below 1 percent, our statewide pandemic response efforts have been tailored toward targeting the areas where transmission remains far higher than the statewide average.
The Holliston Conservation Commission, a seven-member volunteer board, currently has two openings for an up to 3-year term for voting alternates starting July 1, 2021.
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.
