Framingham is currently a red community or a community at high-risk for the coronavirus.
Framingham has been a high-risk or red community since the end of August and continues to be a high-risk community into October.
Framingham is also one of six communities in the Commonwealth out of 351 receiving assistance from the state for help in stopping the spread of the virus.
Because of those two facts, the City’s Mayor gave an order for the City not to advance restaurant openings on October 5, like many other communities in the state.
