DPH calculates rates per 100,000 population using denominators estimated by the University of Massachusetts Donahue Institute using a modified Hamilton-Perry model (Strate S, et al. Small Area Population Estimates for 2011 through 2020, report, Oct 2016.) As of 11/5/2020, the Massachusetts Department of Public Health is using the 2019 population estimates, the most current available data. Please note: Data for these tables are based on information available in the DPH surveillance database at a single point in time. Case counts for specific cities and towns change throughout the day as data cleaning occurs (removal of duplicate reports within the system) and new demographic information (assigning cases to their city or town of residence) is obtained. 4 Massachusetts Department of Public Health COVID-19 Dashboard – Thursday, February 25, 2021 Count and Rate of Confirmed COVID-19 Cases and Tests Performed in MA by City/Town, January 1, 2020 – February 23, 2021 Average Daily Relative Total Change in Total Case Count Percent Incidence Rate Change in Total Total Tests Positive Percent City/Town Case (Last 14 Positivity per 100,000 Case Tests (Last 14 days) Tests (Last Positivity3 Count Days) (Last 14 days) (Last 14 days)1 Counts2 14 days) Auburn 1352 39 16.9 Lower 28914 2035 41 2.01% Lower Avon 411 23 37.5 Lower 6680 421 28 6.65% Higher Ayer 733 20 17.6 Lower 16142 800 23 2.88% Lower Barnstable 2895 136 21.7 Lower 58600 3919 158 4.03% Lower Barre 248 18 23.1 Higher 6635 476 20 4.20% Higher Becket 53 <5 8.0 No Change 2225 152 2 1.32% Higher Bedford 741 37 17.6 Higher 33086 2484 44 1.77% Higher Belchertown 708 43 19.1 Lower 27203 2092 49
