The first 10 days of January we tested 797 people with 148 being positive (18.5%). The first 10 days of February we have tested 113 people with only 8 being positive (less than 1%).
Reminder — the first few days of January testing was open to all. It has since been limited to Acushnet residents only. But still….good news!
On Tuesday, 2/8, 34 people were tested with no positive results. This is the first time in “forever,” according to the FB page.
