FALMOUTH-The Falmouth Health Department has released a statement that says the town has six positive COVID-19 cases as of this afternoon.
The town has advised that they, along with the Massachusetts Department of Public Health and Visiting Nurses Association, are taking proper isolation and quarantine measures.
Positive cases will increase as testing is expanded, the town explained in the statement. Falmouth officials will continue to assume that community spread is occurring, since the positive cases don’t include those with mild illnesses or no symptoms.
The town is urging residents to continue to practice social distancing, good hygienic habits, and other measures to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus.
Falmouth’s COVID-19 team will continue to take action when needed, and updates will be provided to the community as they become available.
