Town of Bedford ~ Update on Covid-19 ~ Tuesday, 7 April 2020

Editor’s Note: In today’s update, Town Manager Sarah Stanton announces that plans for Bedford’s second Summer Solstice Festival have been scrapped because, “the Covid-19 crisis may require focused attention to public health and safety well beyond stay at home orders and advisories. Social distancing measures may be required for several months.”

ACTIVE CASES

As of today, April 7, 2020, there have been a total of twenty-two (22) presumptive positive cases of COVID-19 reported to the Town of Bedford Board of Health by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (MA DPH). Five (5) of these cases have already recovered and have come off of isolation and there are zero known (0) Person(s) Under Investigation. It is likely that there are other individuals impacted by COVID-19 in the community that have not sought medical attention, and/or have not been tested and are isolating at home regardless. Those individuals do not appear on the surveillance reports the Town receives from the MA DPH.

The Board of Health continues to do the appropriate follow-up and outreach to those residents and close contacts known to us. Many of the identified close contacts of the initial cases never exhibited symptoms, have completed their required quarantine period and have been released from quarantine by the Board of Health.

IMPORTANT UPDATES

Cancellation of Summer Solstice Festival: We are disappointed to have to relay that the Town of Bedford has made the decision to cancel the Summer Solstice Festival on June 27, 2020. This is not only due to the logistical planning requirements of the festival during this difficult time but also the anticipation that the COVID-19 public health crisis may require focused attention to public health and safety well beyond stay at home orders and advisories. Social distancing measures may be required for several months. We are looking forward to soon being able to organize and participate in festivals and events that celebrate togetherness, culture and community spirit. We would like to thank our vendors for working with us, and we look forward to holding another event with our partners, Notch brewery, and the food trucks in the future.  We will get through this together and stronger than ever

Stay healthy!…(and wash your hands as often as possible.)
