Town Of Dover Publishes Coronavirus Update For February 26

Press release from the Town of Dover:

February 26, 2022

COVID-19 Update 2/26/22

COVID CASES IN DOVER

Dover cases reported by the Department of Public Health continue to fall steadily.

The DPH does not include the results of home antigen tests in its data, and the actual number of cases is likely significantly higher than in the table below. However, the declining test positivity rate in Dover, the low level of viral RNA detected in MWRA wastewater, and falling rates of hospitalization and death due to COVID-19 in Massachusetts are solid evidence that the true infection rate is indeed falling steadily.

Free Rapid Antigen Tests

• Test kits are available in the Board of Health office Monday-Thursday 9-3.
• Please note that the expiration date printed on the tests (March, 2022) has been extended to June 30, 2022 by the FDA.
