TOWN UPDATE 4/15/2020 - REPORTING HULL'S NUMBERS



TOWN UPDATE
April 15, 2020


REPORTING HULL’S NUMBERS


Although some residents have been critical of the Town for not reporting Hull’s statistics, the Town has adhered to MADPH’s request made to all cities and Towns, to not independently report local community statistical reports that were created by MADPH.  While some towns chose not to follow this recommendation Hull as well as many other communities, respected this request.  This was done because the statistics were not generated by local public health officials and MADPH, the source of the statistics, requested that they not disseminated.   

We continue to believe that the authoritative source for reports on Covid-19 is MADPH, who now feels there is a large enough statewide data base to begin releasing information on local impacts as well as on a county basis. Any resident that is interested in this information can visit the Mass Department of Public Health’s web site located at:   https://www.mass.gov/orgs/department-of-public-health

Phil Lemnios
Town Manager
