FRAMINGHAM – Framingham Public Schools reported 116 new COVID cases today, January 12, including 40 cases at Framingham High.

On Monday, the district reported a record, one-day high of 148 new cases, after a record one-day high of 141 cases on January 6. Yesterday, the public school district reported 43 new coronavirus cases.

It is unknown if the 116 cases are all students, staff, or a combination of both. The district does not separate that number in its dashboard.

There have been 620 cases in the school district since January 1, 2022.
