Here’s the June 2024 dashboard summary. We continue semi-regular COVID-19 dashboard numbers from the Vermont Department of Health, and MA and NH counties that surround Brattleboro, as long as they continue providing them. Scroll down the new comments for the latest.
VT, NH and MA do weekly updates, near the end of the week, so we update on Fridays usually. All three have changed their dashboards since the start, so it is now tough to easily compare how things have changed. Variant updates are every two weeks.
Here are links to the full list of dashboard summaries: May, April, March, February, January 2024, December, November, October, September, August, July, June, May, April, March, February, January 2023, December, November, October, September, August, July, June, May, April, March, February, January 2022, December, November, October, September, August, July, June, May, April, March, February, January 2021, December, November, October, September, August, July, June, May, and April 2020. 47 months!

JN.1 and KP2 are the dominant circulating variants . Specimen quantities are limited to less than ten starting the week of 4/7 which may impact proportion accuracy. (Sources: LabCorp, Quest, Helix, Health Department Whole Genome Sequencing program.)
As of 5/29/2024, KP.2 is the dominant circulating variant in wastewater (data not shown) .Samples from two wastewater sites, Brattleboro and Ludlow, are sequenced to estimate the proportion of circulating variants.
Concentration levels are slightly elevated at some sites but generally remain low. Some week-to- week fluctuation is expected.
