FRAMINGHAM – On Saturday, February 5, the Framingham Public Schools district reported just 6 new COVID cases on February 4. There was no school on Friday due to the ice storm “snow day.”

But today, February 7, the Framingham Public Schools dashboard is reporting 23 cases reported on Friday, February 4.

It is unknown if the 23 cases are all students, staff, or a combination of both. The district does not separate that number in its dashboard.

On February 3 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.

The district is now reporting 2,423 total COVID cases during the 2021-2022 school year through yesterday.
