ACTIVE CASES
As of today, April 11, 2020, there have been a total of forty-eight (48) positive cases of COVID-19 in Bedford and one (1) death reported to the Town of Bedford Board of Health by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (MA DPH). The total case number incudes residents of the Town of Bedford, Hanscom Air Force Base and the Bedford Veteran’s Administration (VA) Campus as reported to us by the MA DPH.
Nine (9) of the total Bedford cases have already recovered and have come off of isolation and there is currently one (1) known Person Under Investigation. There are other individuals impacted by COVID-19 in the community that have not sought medical attention, and/or have not been tested and are isolating at home regardless. Those individuals do not appear on the surveillance reports the Town receives from the MA DPH.
The Board of Health continues to do the appropriate follow-up and outreach to those residents and close contacts known to us and the VA is conducting follow-up and contact tracing of the Veterans under their care. Many of the identified close contacts of some of the Bedford cases never exhibited symptoms, have completed their required quarantine period and have been released from quarantine by the Board of Health.
Stay healthy!…(and wash your hands as often as possible.)
