Cases of COVID-19 dropped slightly week-to-week on the Vineyard, according to numbers reported by the Island boards of health.
Last week there were 29 total cases from Sunday to Saturday, and the Vineyard remains at low risk for the spread of the virus. There have been no hospitalizations, according to the reports, and the seven-day positive case count was six. That number only includes PCR tests administered by the hospital and doesn’t take into account home testing kits that are now prevalent.
The week before, COVID cases were at 34 total.

Curious – are people really self reporting?
Why even report this anymore? How many people got a cold this week?
2863 deaths in the last week in the US from Covid.
How many from colds?
I am wondering why there isn’t any appointments available for the 2nd booster at MVH. Week after week I try.
Made multiple appointments on the Cape to get Covid shots at several different places over the past 4 months only to have them all cancelled. Wondering if this is happening to others as well.
I did notice they didn’t really want any taking the Johnson and Johnson out of safety.
Supply chain?
The vaccination bus will be returning to the island on Sunday, May 1st and will be offering COVID vaccines from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm in the high school cafeteria. Appointments are required and can be scheduled through the following link.
