FRAMINGHAM, MA — Framingham continues to steadily add new coronavirus cases, with 21 new infections reported on Wednesday.

With the 21 new cases, Framingham has 179 total active cases, an improvement from the 191 active cases reported on Monday. Framingham also reported a new COVID-19 death on Wednesday, bringing the citywide total to 142.

Wednesday is also the day the state Department of Public Health releases its weekly report on individual communities. It's likely Framingham will remain a high-risk community.
