It took nearly a month to get from the first case reported in Shrewsbury to more than one hundred reported today April 16th, 2020. A growth tendency that may be reflecting that social distancing restrictions are working towards the prevention of an exponential spread of the coronavirus COVID-19, at least in our town.
Yesterday, April 15th, there were no confirmed cases of infections reported in the town of Shrewsbury. As of today, there are a total of one hundred two (102) cases of coronavirus COVID-19 infections in the town of Shrewsbury, according to the Central Massachusetts Regional Public Health Alliance (CMRPHA).
The government of the town assured that public health officials are “working closely with the individuals and will notify others that the individuals may have been in contact with.”
