Weekly COVID-19 Case Update

As we head into the height of the summer season on Cape Cod, it is important to remember to wear a face covering when entering stores or businesses, when passing other people on the sidewalk and on the boardwalks to the beaches.

As we all expand our social circles, remember that frequent handwashing and vigilant social distancing are proven public health tools that work against the spread of coronavirus. Testing is widely available and should be done if you feel sick or have been in contact with someone who has been sick. Contact your primary care doctor for local testing options, or go to this website to find sites that do not require a referral:
