Southborough Board of Health updated their Covid figures as of this afternoon. There were 22 new cases confirmed in one week and 39 cases in two weeks.
33 cases were labeled active out of the Town’s cumulative of 764 cases throughout the pandemic. For more details, click on thumbnails below:
The past week’s Covid cases represents an increase since the most recent report by Mass Dept. of Public Health (issued November 23rd)*. That had indicated 26 cases in town over two weeks. In that report the % of tests confirmed positive was 1.43% (lower than the prior report). The Average Daily Incidence Rate per 100,000 was 19.2 (also lower than the prior period).

**Population figures are just estimates. I use demographics extrapolated from 2019 census data since the state’s population data was clearly outdated.
