*The state reports are issued on Thursday evenings, based on data covering the results from tests taken in the 14 day period ending on the prior Saturday. In this case, that was a January 21st report for tests taken through January 16th.
Updated (1/26/21 8:59 am): I added in the information for the state’s risk classifications for Southborough and neighboring Towns.
Updated (1/26/21 3:40 pm): The graph for Ages over Time in Southborough didn’t include the 17 new cases since last Thursday. I replaced it with the correctly updated version.
