Tufts Medical Center reached a major milestone on Tuesday in the COVID-19 pandemic.
The hospital doesn't have any COVID-19 inpatients.
As of 6:45 a.m. on Tuesday, a spokesperson for Tufts Medical Center said that for the first time since March, 21, 2020, the hospital has no COVID-19 inpatients — marking a big milestone for the hospital in the pandemic era.
Back in March, Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey announced that her administration would be lifting the state's modified COVID-19 public health emergency on May 11, aligning with the end of the federal public health emergency ending on the same day.
The first case of COVID-19 in Massachusetts that was confirmed by the Department of Public Health was in a UMass Boston student who had just traveled from Wuhan, China. The case was announced on Feb. 1, 2020.
