    Concentrations are low in Ludlow, Essex Junction, and South Burlington. Concentrations are
    moderately elevated in Montpelier, St. Albans and Middlebury. Some week-to-week fluctuation is
    expected.

    “COVID-19 testing patterns have changed over time. Current case counts includes reports of people tested with a molecular test (confirmed cases) and those tested by a health care provider using an antigen test (probable cases). Individuals testing themselves using at-home antigen tests are not included. Case counts represent only a portion of people with COVID-19 and should be interpreted with caution. Current case counts should not be compared to earlier parts of the pandemic.”

    Statewide percent positivity is 3.580%

    537 confirmed and probable cases last week
