Coronavirus Cases Tick Upwards In Massachusetts While The President Downplays Its Threat
ResumeThe daily average number of new coronavirus cases in Massachusetts has been steadily rising over the past few weeks. The number of people being hospitalized for COVID-19 is rising too. The three-day average of COVID patients in Massachusetts hospitals is up 46 percent since hitting a low earlier this summer.
