FRAMINGHAM – The Framingham Public School district reported 38 new COVID cases on Monday, January 31, including 14 cases at Barbieri Elementary School.

It is unknown if the 38 cases are all students, staff, or a combination of both. The district does not separate that number in its dashboard.

On January 10, the district reported a record, one-day high of 148 new cases, as the Omicron variant was surging. It now appears to be waning.

January had the highest number of cases in the school district since the pandemic began in 2020.

As of tonight, the district’s dashboard reported 1,741 COVID cases in the school district since January 1, 2022, which is about 75% of all cases this school year.

The district is now reporting 2,329 total COVID cases during the 2021-2022 school year. There are just under 10,000 students in the school district.
