Town health officials reported three new Covid-19 cases in Lincoln during the week ending September 30. All three are members of the same household and are not at The Commons, which was an early hotspot but has not seen any new cases since May, public health nurse Tricia McGean said.
This is the largest number of cases in a week since August 5. In the seven weeks from then until the most recent count, there were only four new cases in town.
The new Covid-19 cases are separate from those reported more recently in two at Hanscom Middle School (cases on Hanscom Air Force Base are recorded as being in Bedford, not Lincoln). As a result of the positive tests there, 23 students and six staff members are now working remotely during their period of quarantine, Superintendent of Schools Becky McFall said on Tuesday.
