Newton Cases
As we’re seeing statewide, the number of new cases in Newton are going in the wrong direction after coming down and then staying relatively stable for the past several weeks.
We had 138 additional confirmed cases of COVID-19 over the past week from March 25 – March 31 which is 53 more than the 85 new cases we saw last week, and the 75 new cases we saw over each of the previous two weeks. The new cases bring the cumulative number of people in Newton who have tested positive to 3,998.
Over the two-week tracking period used by the State from March 14 to March 27, Newton had 182 new cases compared to the 156 during the previous two weeks, and 141 during the reporting period prior to that.
