BREAKING NEWS ALERT
The death toll from confirmed cases of the coronavirus in Massachusetts rose by 14 to 8,389, state officials reported Friday, and the number of confirmed cases climbed by 387, bringing the total to 109,787.

It was the third day in a row that new coronavirus cases topped 300. But the Department of Public Health said on Friday that the case counts were higher because of a backlog in reporting of positive tests.

“The number of new cases reported today appears higher because of delays in the reporting of test results to DPH from multiple laboratories, including large national commercial laboratories. However, these positive test results have been assigned retrospectively to the appropriate date of test,” a Department of Public Health spokesperson said Friday.
