Massachusetts has reached a new milestone in regard to the life(as we know it)-changing coronavirus, surpassing 1 million COVID-19 cases as of Tuesday.
This latest report increases the Commonwealth's number of confirmed cases to 808,601 since the beginning of the pandemic and the number of deaths to 18,719.
Health officials announced Thursday that more than 10,000 people in Massachusetts have died from COVID-19 since the pandemic began as the state continues to grapple with a surge of COVID-19 cases.
As confirmed cases of COVID-19 appear to be on the rise almost everywhere, Pittsfield Mayor Linda Tyer posted a warning on her Facebook page for residents regarding a recent uptick of cases.
