FALL RIVER —Mayor Paul Coogan reports 1,042 positive coronavirus cases in Fall River, up 38 from Monday. He said there have been no new fatalities, with Fall River still holding at 22.

The Massachusetts Department of Public Health confirmed 76 new COVID-19-related deaths across the state Tuesday, bringing the state's total to 5,938.

The total number of confirmed COVID-19 cases rose to 87,925 after 873 new cases were reported by state health officials on May 19.

To date, 476,940 tests for the virus have been conducted in Massachusetts after 7,741 new tests were reported Tuesday. Tuesday's rate of positive tests was 11%, down slightly from the previous few days.

State health officials said roughly 3% of all coronavirus patients are currently hospitalized.

Charlton Memorial Hospital is reporting 49 patients, 13 of which are in the ICU. Morton Hospital is reporting 38 patients, with 8 of them in the ICU. St. Luke's Hospital is reporting 40 patients, with 12 in the ICU. Saint Anne's is reporting zero coronavirus patients.

Roughly 61% of the deaths reported statewide occurred at long-term care facilities as of Tuesday, according to state health officials.

On Monday, the DPH began releasing daily data charts that sort the number of new COVID-19 cases and the number of newly reported tests by the date instead of by the date both metrics were reported to state health officials.

The DPH believes it is more precise and useful to present this data by how many people are getting tested each day and, of those, how many test positive for COVID-19. Moving into the next phase of the pandemic, the reopening phase, this format provides a more standardized way to compare both daily counts of tests and cases, according to state health officials.

The DPH dashboard of COVID-19 information indicates a positive trend for postive test rate and for testing capacity.

To date, 48,372 Massachusetts residents have been subject to quarantine since the COVID-19 outbreak began and 27,812 people have completed quarantine, according to the state's weekly report released May 13.

According to state health officials, they will submit a plan by Sunday to the federal government to further increase testing capacity of up to 45,000 tests per day by the end of July and up to 75,000 by December. The testing criteria has been broadened to allow for more individuals to have access to testing for COVID-19.

Town-by-town results will be released Wednesday.
