While Sunderland remains in the state’s “red” category because of a surge in the number of people testing positive for COVID-19, the rest of the county’s towns have seen a decrease in those numbers.
Sunderland reported 33 new positive cases over the past two weeks, possibly because of the surge in positive cases at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, while Montague was the only town in Franklin County in the “yellow” or higher-risk category with 23 new cases reported in that time. Athol in Worcester County is also in the “yellow” with 43 new cases. Greenfield is the only town in the “green” or lower-risk category, with 23 cases reported over the past two weeks.
