Covid Cases Keep Climbing; More Clusters Reported
Monday, August 9, 2021
Covid-19 cases have shot back up on Martha’s Vineyard, with health agents reporting 48 new positive tests during the first week in August, including three case clusters at Edgartown businesses.
In an email Monday, Martha's Vineyard Hospital spokesman Marissa Lefebvre confirmed that there is one patient currently hospitalized with the virus. Ms. Lefebvre said the patient was hospitalized Sunday in serious condition.
The hospital had not reported a new Covid-19 hospitalization since last spring.
The 48 new cases represent the highest weekly total since mid-May, after cases declined to near-zero levels during the beginning months of the summer.
