Breaking down a year's worth of Cohasset COVID-19 data
Wicked Local
Last month, Massachusetts reached one year since the state declared it was in a health crisis and went into lockdown as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
In the time since, terms like “masking up,” “social distancing,” “PCR tests,” and “vaccine eligibility” have become commonplace in our vernacular.
On Monday, all adults across Massachusetts became eligible for the vaccine. This comes in the same week that the state passes another anniversary—one year of the Department of Public Health’s COVID-19 data tracking.
The DPH released its first town-by-town breakdown of COVID prevalence on April 22, 2020. Cohasset, which was the first town outside of Boston to report a positive coronavirus case, had 15 total cases in town at that point.
