TEWKSBURY, MA — Tewksbury was designated a moderate-risk community by the state Friday, after first being labeled high-risk last week.
The town's case count and positive rate held level, but the state used new metrics for designating risk levels in the latest town-by-town release. Over 100 cities and towns fell out of the high-risk zone due to the change.
Too many weeks in the high-risk category can force towns to roll back reopening.
