The statewide infection rate is 1,506.59 confirmed cases per 100,000 residents. The map does not include 262 of the state's 104,961 cases because state health officials could not determine which community the patient lived in.

Statewide, there were 162 new confirmed COVID-19 cases reported Wednesday, as well as 30 deaths. Since the first reported death March 20, there have been 8,028 coronavirus-related deaths in Massachusetts.

The state conducted 9,133 tests Wednesday, bringing the total number of completed tests to 910,354.
