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 18, 2021 Count and Rate of Confirmed COVID-19 Cases and Tests Performed in MA by City/Town, January 1, 2020 – February 16, 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 1336 80 34.7 Lower 27889 2135 87 4.07% Lower Avon 402 24 39.2 Lower 6438 452 30 6.64% Lower Ayer 724 42 37.0 Lower 15755 960 43 4.48% Lower Barnstable 2846 199 31.7 Lower 56637 4556 230 5.05% Lower Barre 237 16 20.6 Lower 6372 468 18 3.85% Lower Becket 53 <5 8.0 Lower 2159 181 2 1.10% Lower Bedford 726 29 13.8 Lower 31848 2479 36 1.45% No Change Belchertown 685 44 19.6 Lower 26076 2093 51
