Local school officials in Massachusetts reported to the state 572 new coronavirus cases among students and 48 among school staff members for the week that ended Wednesday.
The number of cases reported among staff members was at its lowest single-week level since late September.
The state K-12 education agency estimates that about 690,000 students across the state are attending some form of in-person learning, and about 135,000 staff members are working in buildings, the same as the previous week.
Cases are only reported among students who are attending in-person school; cases among students in a fully remote learning model are not being tracked by the state. Cases among staff members are only being reported if the employee was inside a school building within the seven days prior to the reported case.
