Boodheshwar credited the town s COVID-19 protective measures, plus its high vaccination rate, for keeping infections low.
With nearly 93% of its 9,000 residents inoculated, the town leads the county in the percentage of people age 16 and older who have had at least one shot, according to a report released May 18 by county officials that breaks down vaccination rates through April 30 by ZIP code. Having no new cases in the town is a testament to the great work this community has done to protect one another, Boodheshwar said.
Numbers for the past week also showed a slowdown in the number of cases on the county and state levels, with 888 new cases reported in Palm Beach County a 0.6% increase and 16,546 new cases reported in Florida a 0.7% increase.
