This comes as the state is set to roll back to 'Phase 2.1' at midnight, which was decided earlier this week due to the increase in cases being seen across parts of the state.
For a town to be considered in the ‘Red Alert,’ they have to be reporting 15 cases per 100,000 residents. For an 'Orange Alert,' it's 10 to 14 cases per 100,000.
