Selectmen receive COVID-19 health update

WILMINGTON — Wil­mington’s Board of Health Director Shelly Newhouse shared at the Board of Selectman meet­ing on Monday night that the current COVID-19 numbers were at ex­actly 200 positives and over 600 residents in qua­rantine. This was part of the COVID-19 update giv­en by Newhouse and Fire Chief Bill Cava­naugh.
With COVID-19 spread­ing mostly within house­holds, she explained the numbers reported earlier that day were the re­sult of Thanksgiving gatherings and travel.
“One person picks it up and brings it back, and the contacts go from there,” she said.
She also reiterated the complexity of contact tracing that makes it a cumbersome process. For that reason, she mentioned the department has hired a few part-time nurses who are taking on a few ca­ses of contact tracing per day.
