Saugus is out, but Lynn, Peabody and Revere are still in the red this week. 

With its new yellow designation, Saugus is no longer considered a high risk for coronavirus spread. The town is now classified as having a moderate risk. 

Lynn, Peabody, and Revere stayed red, but their positive test and daily incidence rates continued to decline this week, according to the state Department of Public Health (DPH).

New cases were reported in Lynn, Lynnfield, Marblehead, Peabody, Revere, and Salem on Friday. 

In Lynn, 40 new cases were reported to bring the city’s caseload to 15,529. Of that total, 289 cases are active, 193 people have died, and 15,047 have recovered from the virus, the city reported. 

Peabody has reported 44 new cases since Monday to bring the city’s total number of cases to 6,192. The city’s death toll is 291 and 5,445 people have recovered, according to the health department. 

Fifteen new cases were reported in Revere, which now has 9,530 cases and 149 deaths, the city website reported.
