Massachusetts health officials on Thursday reported 1,543 new coronavirus cases on Friday as 20 more people died of the disease statewide, though trends remain generally positive. The 1,543 new cases is up a bit from the 1,486 from the previous day, though cases have been trending downward over the past couple of weeks following an uptick driven by the highly contagious delta variant. The big four data points — rolling averages for positive test rate, hospitalizations and daily cases and deaths — all remain trending generally positively following a recent uptick through late August and early September.
