FRAMINGHAM – The Framingham Public Schools district reported just 6 new COVID cases on Friday, February 4. However, there was no school on Friday due to the ice storm “snow day.”

It is unknown if the 6 cases are all students, staff, or a combination of both. The district does not separate that number in its dashboard.

On Thursday, the Framingham Public Schools surpassed 2,400 COVID cases for the academic 2021-22 school year. To put that in perspective there is more than 9,300 students in the school district, of which roughly 2,400 are at Framingham High.

For the week, the public school district reported 111 new COVID cases this week, as of 10 a.m. on Saturday, February 5.

The district is now reporting 2,412 total COVID cases during the 2021-2022 school year through yesterday.
