FRAMINGHAM – In November, more than 20 businesses, restaurants, and day care centers reported more than 50 employees positive with COVID-19, according to City of Framingham records, obtained by SOURCE via a FOIA request.

By law, any establishment that has a positive COVID employee is required to notify the Framingham Board of Health.

The City of Framingham has not been publishing this information for the public, and establishments have not always been transparent, either.

For those reasons, SOURCE, requested the list of businesses in the City that reported a positive COVID employee in the month of November, through a federal Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).

The digital news outlet on December 3 requested a list of all establishments that notified the City’s Board of Health with a COVID positive employee in the month of November. That list was provided to the news outlet today, December 16 after 12 p.m.

One establishment reported a dozen employees in November.

One business reported 7 employees positive on November 17.

Four day cares had positive cases.

A half dozen food establishments had positive cases, along with several retail outlets.

In Massachusetts, if an employee, customer, or vendor of restaurant tests positive or is presumed to be positive for COVID-19, the restaurant must immediately shut down for at least 24 hours, cleaning and disinfecting in accordance with CDC guidelines before reopening.

The Commonwealth set guidelines for all types of businesses on what must be done if an employee tests positive.

A new chart supplied to the digital news outlet on December 21, showed only two cases. The City of Framingham made the error and the news outlet updated the report when notified of the city’s mistake.
