FRAMINGHAM – The Framingham Public School district reported 20 new COVID cases to start the month.

It is unknown if the 20 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.
