Franklin-Hampshire Counties No Longer COVID “Red” Zones

By CHRIS COLLINS

(undated) — Franklin and Hampshire counties are no longer considered “hot” zones for the coronavirus. The State Department of Public Health said there are now only three Western Mass towns in the COVID “red zone,” all of which are in Hampden County. Hadley was the last Hampshire town on the list, but is now considered in the “yellow,” or moderate risk category.
