Gayla Cawley

May 26, 2020 by Gayla Cawley

Marblehead is reporting an additional 11 deaths since last week, which brings the town’s COVID-19 death toll to 30. 

Another Revere resident died over the weekend, which brings its count to 68 fatalities and 1,570 cases. 

Other North Shore communities reported a handful of new cases, but no additional deaths on Tuesday. 

Marblehead now has 223 cases, which is 12 more than last Monday, May 18, when the town last updated its numbers. 

According to the town, more than 96 percent of its 30 deaths have been residents or staff members at Marblehead nursing homes. 

Nursing home residents and staff members also account for more than half, or nearly 60 percent, of its virus cases. 

Of the town’s total cases, 142 remain active. 

In Lynn, there were no additional deaths reported since last Friday, which marks a rare weekend without a virus fatality.

Daily case increases remain low in Lynn compared to spikes that were seen in April, with 15 new cases reported on Tuesday. 

The city has now reported 3,303 cases and 86 deaths — 1,243 residents have recovered. 

Swampscott reported three new cases on Tuesday to bring the town’s caseload to 122. Nine residents have died. 

Numbers in Lynnfield (91 cases and 11 deaths), Nahant (41 cases and six deaths), and Saugus (484 cases and 28 deaths) remained the same on Tuesday. 

At press time, Peabody had not released updated numbers. As of Monday, the city had 966 cases and 133 deaths.
