The state Public Health Department recently developed the “town-level COVID response framework” to classify cities and towns based on population and how many residents have tested positive for COVID-19 on a two-week rolling average, counted from Sunday to Saturday. The state will make the designations every Thursday after 5 p.m. Cities and towns that have increased positive COVID-19 cases are designated as yellow, orange or red.
