Third Framingham Coronavirus Case Differs From Others

FRAMINGHAM, MA — Framingham has its third presumptive positive case of new coronavirus, COVID-19, officials said Sunday. The case differs from the other two because the person did not have contact with other people who tested positive.

"The resident, who is not related to Framingham’s previous two positive cases, is in isolation at home," officials said.

Framingham's first presumptive positive case was discovered on Wednesday, and the second came Saturday. Those two people are related, officials have said. They also have a child who goes to Potter Park Elementary who came into contact with 95 students and staff associated with schools.

The total number of cases in Massachusetts stands at 123, and 60 of those cases are in Middlesex County.
