Massachusetts: Long-term-care historical data

When reports no data, several days of data, or unusual data (such as decreases in values that should increase), our volunteers note it here on the date the anomaly occurred. We also note here changes in our own methodology that affect the data.

Massachusetts reports long-term care data for Nursing Homes, Skilled Nursing Facilities, and Rest Homes. Massachusetts reports cumulative data. Data on residents and staff are reported combined. Cases and deaths include probables. Massachusetts defines as probable cases as "patients with a positive serology/antibody test and either COVID-like symptoms or likely exposure to COVID-19," and probable deaths as, "patients who did not have a laboratory test but whose death certificate listed COVID-19 as a cause of death are counted as probable deaths." Data is updated daily.

November 26, 2020: Massachusetts has not updated the Weekly COVID-19 Public Health Report since November 19th. Data was carried over.

December 24, 2020: Facility data was carried over from 12/17. MA updated facility reports on Thursdays and CTP gathered data on Wednesday due to the holiday.
