(Buckland, MA) According to the most recent town by town data released by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, Buckland is no longer considered high risk for COVID-19 transmission. Buckland has zero reported COVID-19 cases in the last 14 days and 15 total. In order for Buckland to move back to Phase 3 Stage II of the COVID-19 reopening plan, the town must remain out of the red, so to speak, for three consecutive weeks. Designation as a high risk community depends on population density compared to the amount of cases in that community.
