At least 31 Essex County residents have recovered from COVID-19 since March, according to the county Health Department. At least 77 people in Franklin County have recovered, according to Franklin County Public Health. These numbers may not be all-encompassing, however, since they only include cases reported to the health departments.

Zero Essex County residents were hospitalized with COVID-19 as of Tuesday. Five of the active cases are in home isolation, and one is a prison inmate. Hospitalization data from Franklin County Public Health was not immediately available Tuesday afternoon, but more information was expected to be released on Wednesday.
