On Dec. 4, 24 positive cases were recorded while Dec. 5 saw an additional 20.
“It was quite an overwhelming weekend,” Health Director Jennifer Murphy said at the virtual meeting of the Select Board on Dec. 7. “We did have to start to engage the help of the contact tracing collaborative. That’s the group that does contact tracing at the state level by Partners in Health.”
Winchester has referred 25 cases their way. But Murphy said school-related cases will stay in town.
