MESSAGE FROM MAYOR NEIL PERRY: As of this afternoon, the number of Methuen residents who have been confirmed with COVID-19 virus has increased to 52. Although I'm disappointed this number continues to grow, it's not unexpected as more and more individuals are tested. Fortunately, the overwhelming majority of these men and women continue to be treated at home. If anything, this number should encourage each of us to stay home and to practice responsible physical distancing.

On a more positive note, we're also beginning to learn that some of the individuals our nurses have been tracking have recovered. Although we don't have that exact number, I am encouraged by that positive news and look forward to sharing more details as they become available.

As I've said many times, I'm so very grateful to Amy Ewing, our Public Health nurse, and to our team of public school nurses who have been working seven days a week to communicate with confirmed Methuen residents and to stay in touch with those with whom they've been in contact. Our team is reaching out by telephone, text, and email - we're appreciative for the cooperation we're receiving.
