see table on page 24. 2Number of new cases occurring over the current two-week period (12/6/2020 – 12/19/2020) compared to the previous two-week period (11/29/2020 – 12/12/2020). Higher=number of new cases in the current two-week period higher than the number of new cases during the last two-week period. Lower=number of new cases in the current two-week period lower than number of new cases during the last two-week period. No change=number of new cases in current two-week period is equal to the number of new cases during the last two-week period. 3Change in percent positivity compared to the previous week’s (12/17/2020) report. No Change= <0.10% difference in the percent positivity. 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. 3 Massachusetts Department of Public Health COVID-19 Dashboard – Thursday, December 24, 2020 Count and Rate of Confirmed COVID-19 Cases and Tests Performed in MA by City/Town, January 1, 2020 – December 22, 2020 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 808 216 93.6 Higher 18995 2425 229 9.44% Higher Avon 220 52 84.9 Lower 4300 580 54 9.31% Lower Ayer 337 108 95.3 Higher 11414 1156 112 9.69% Higher Barnstable 1531 288 45.9 Higher 36454 4914 315 6.41% Higher Barre 132 22 28.3 Lower 4377 427 23 5.39% Lower Becket 29 6 23.9 Higher
