State New Cases/Day = number of new cases announced each day across state of Massachusetts, averaged over seven days (i.e., the value shown for each day is for that day, and the six prior). Source: Raw Data report on this page

Wayland Avg Daily Incidence = average number of new cases per day in Wayland over past two weeks scaled to 100,000 population (e.g., the September 9 value is for the total cases for the two weeks ending September 9 divided by 14 divided by Wayland's population and multiplied by 100,000). The color coding of the bars reflects the Massachusetts map color-coding. The cutoffs (and added positivity requirements) have changed as of 11/4/20.
