All good things must come to an end.

Despite the case, all three towns remain “gray” on the state’s covid risk map, meaning each town has under 10 ongoing cases.

73% of Marion residents and 55% of Rochester residents are fully vaccinated for covid, both up 1%. 74% are fully vaccinated in Mattapoisett, up 2%.

81% of Marion and Mattapoisett residents have one dose of a covid vaccine, up 1% for Mattapoisett and steady for Marion. Rochester held steady, where 60% of residents have one dose.
