the current two-week period (1/03/2021– 01/16/2021) compared to the previous two-week period (12/27/2020 – 01/09/2021).

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, January 21, 2021 Count and Rate of Confirmed COVID-19 Cases and Tests Performed in MA by City/Town, January 1, 2020 – January 19, 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 1141 183 79.3 No Change 23234 2412 198 8.21% Lower Avon 338 74 120.8 Higher 5418 665 89 13.38% Higher Ayer 630 93 82.0 Lower 13771 1134 105 9.26% Lower Barnstable 2320 407 64.9 Higher 46698 5413 438 8.09% Lower Barre 191 32 41.1 Lower 5302 537 40 7.45% Lower Becket 43 10 39.8 Lower 1775 220 12 5.45% Higher Bedford 645 126 60.0 Higher 26461 3190 135 4.23% No Change Belchertown 557 104 46.3 Lower 21631 2087 120 5.75% Lower Bellingham 731 102 40.4 Lower 15579 1332 111 8.33% Lower Belmont 847 143 37.3 Lower 43709 5577 168 3.01% Lower Berkley 477 90 94.3 Lower 7502 779 104 13.35% Lower Berlin 129 28 62.0 Lower 3993 454 32 7.05% Lower Bernardston 34 <5 13.8 Higher 2617 248 4 1.61% Lower Beverly 2492 410 71.3 Lower 95228 7881 481 6.10% Lower Billerica 2727 418 68.4 Lower 52675 5717 473 8.27% Lower Blackstone 396 63 49.9 Lower 8363 725 65 8.97% Lower Blandford 33 <5 17.7 Lower 991 126 3 2.38% Lower Data are current as of 11:59pm on 01/19/2021; For populations <50,000, <5 cases are reported as such or suppressed for confidentiality purposes. 1 For the calculations used to delineate Grey, Green, Yellow, and Red, please see table on page 24. 2Number of new cases occurring over the current two-week period (1/03/2021– 01/16/2021) compared to the previous two-week period (12/27/2020 – 01/09/2021).
