Brockton drops to COVID yellow after months in high-risk red

BROCKTON  After nearly five months in the high-risk COVID-19 red, Brockton has dropped back to the yellow, at moderate risk for the coronavirus, as of Thursday evening. But that changed Thursday evening when the latest weekly report was released. Brockton averaged 24.8 new COVID-19 cases per day per 100,000 residents from Feb. 14 to 27, which is the period used to calculate the data in Thursday s report. That remains well above the 10 cases per day per 100,000 people that would put a community with over 100,000 residents into the red, but the risk assessment also takes test positivity rate into account. Over the last two weeks, 3.78 percent of Brockton residents who were tested for COVID-19 were found to be positive.
