Wilmington Reporting More Active Coronavirus Cases

WILMINGTON, MA — Wilmington's coronavirus outbreak is moving in the wrong direction again, the Health Department reported Sunday. Seven residents have active confirmed cases of the virus, up from just one case on June 22.

Another two residents are in quarantine for potential exposure.

"This is not over. Please be safe," Health Director Shelly Newhouse said Thursday.

The town's outbreak is still nowhere near the height of the crisis in April, when there were dozens of coronavirus patients in town.

The town also announced Sunday that the summer Concerts on the Common series had been canceled due to the virus. Statewide restrictions on large gatherings remain in place.
