In just the past two weeks, COVID-19 cases in New England have jumped up 59 percent

In just the past two weeks, COVID-19 cases in New England have jumped up 59 percent, a sudden rise that has some people worried as we head into the holiday season.

In Massachusetts, the seven-day average of daily cases has increased 83 percent in the past two weeks.

“Heading into the winter months when respiratory viruses are more likely to spread and with plans for increased holiday season travel and gathering, boosting people’s overall protection against COVID-19 disease and death was important to do now,” Dr. Rochelle Walensky, director of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in a White House briefing Monday.
