The bulk of the diagnosed COVID-19 cases in Vermont are clustered in the Burlington area, home to some of the long-term care facilities that have seen outbreaks, but Hartford and Woodstock have also seen a notable number of cases.
The Vermont Department of Health on Monday released a town-by-town breakdown that showed Hartford had 10 COVID-19 cases and Woodstock 7. Vermont has had 855 diagnosed cases as of Monday, and Burlington led the town-by-town breakdown, which was from weekend data, with 157 COVID-19 cases, followed by Essex, 47, Swanton, 44, Colchester, 38, and South Burlington, 37.
State officials said residents of a long-term care facility or inmates at a correctional facility are counted in the town where the facility is located when they were tested, which would account for the high number in Swanton.
