used to delineate Grey, Green, Yellow, and Red, please see table on page 27. 2Number of new cases occurring over the current two-week period (10/25/2020 – 11/07/2020) compared to the previous two-week period (10/18/2020 – 10/31/2020). 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 (11/5/2020) report. No Change= <0.10% difference in the percent positivity. Municipalities marked with an asterisk (*) have either a long-term care facility, institution of higher education and or correction facility with 1) more than 10 confirmed cases in the last 14 days and 2) these cases make up more than 30% of the total cases for that municipality in the last 14 days. 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, November 12, 2020 Count and Rate of Confirmed COVID-19 Cases and Tests Performed in MA by City/Town, January 1, 2020 – November 11, 2020 Average Daily Relative Total Change in Case Count Percent Total Case Incidence Rate Change in Total Total Tests Positive Percent City/Town (Last 14 Positivity Count per 100,000 Case Counts2 Tests (Last 14 days) Tests (Last Positivity3 Days) (Last 14 days) (Last 14 days)1 14 days) Athol 129 18 10.7 Lower 7962 1163 23 1.98% Lower Attleboro
