The list of communities that the state considers high risk for COVID-19 transmission has shortened for the second straight week.
Massachusetts now counts 48 of its 351 communities on , compared to 59 the previous week. Lee and Williamstown dropped off the list after they were included last week, although Adams remains on the list for the fourth straight week.
In Adams, however, the 26 new cases in the past two weeks barely meet the stateâs threshold. The state counts communities with a population of under 10,000 as high risk if they have had more than 25 cases in the past two weeks.
The state considers Dalton, North Adams and Pittsfield to be moderate risk, and it classifies Great Barrington, Lee and Williamstown as lower risk. All other Berkshire communities fall in the lowest risk category.
