When the Cape Cod COVID-19 Response Task Force launched in early May 2020, the state was reporting upwards of 1,000 new cases of the coronavirus daily and the statewide positive test rate was in the teens and 20s.
On Thursday, during what the task force planned to be its last weekly media call, Sean O Brien of the Barnstable County Department of Health and the Environment said that the incidence of COVID-19 is now starting to dwindle down both on Cape Cod and across Massachusetts.
Just three people are hospitalized for COVID-19 at Cape Cod and Falmouth hospitals, O Brien said, and on Wednesday the Department of Public Health reported a total of 100 new cases and a seven-day average positive test rate of 0.69 percent.
