Massachusetts reported 2,200 new coronavirus cases and 23 deaths Saturday, as new infections in the state continue to increase rapidly.

Saturday’s case total is up from 2,038 reported Friday. Single-day cases have now topped 2,000 two days in a row, a mark last hit in late April, at the virus’s peak in the state. 

Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker acknowledged a second wave of the pandemic hit the state. 

“The second surge that so many of the folks in the public health community talked about last summer, which now seems like a million years ago, is certainly underway not just here but across the U.S. and frankly across almost all the western democracies,” Baker told local officials gathered for a phone call meeting Friday.
