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 10, 2020 Count and Rate of Confirmed COVID-19 Cases and Tests Performed in MA by City/Town, January 1, 2020 – December 8, 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 Counts2 Tests (Last 14 days) Tests (Last Positivity3 Count Days) (Last 14 days) (Last 14 days)1 14 days) Auburn 577 130 56.33 Higher 16319 2143 137 6.39% Higher Avon 159 27 44.07 Higher 3686 401 28 6.98% Higher Ayer 229 38 33.52 Higher 10176 1008 43 4.27% Higher Barnstable 1231 314 50.09 Lower 31260 4613 339 7.35% Lower Barre 110 20 25.69 Higher
