Other states besides Massachusetts following Hoboken's lead include Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, California, Ohio, Illinois, Washington, Oregon, Maryland, Minnesota, Michigan (on very short notice), and 5 counties in Pennsylvania. Also the cities of Los Angeles, Washington DC, and Harris County, TX (i.e., Houston). Abroad, countries like Poland, Belgium, France, the Netherlands, Albania, Israel, and Czechia have closed restaurants.

The Boston Globe reports that unfortunate Worcester man who died on his way home Saturday has (posthumously) tested negative for COVID-19. The numbers for Massachusetts today are 197 total (+33 over yesterday), of which 100 have been connected to Biogen, 18 are travel-related, 28 are officially due to local transmission (apparently including the previous Western Mass cluster), and 51 are still under investigation. Of the positive tests, 8 are being excluded from further tabulation for being pre-March tests conducted by the CDC, 1 was done by LabCorp, 7 by Quest, and the remaining 181 were performed by the DPH.
