No new cases of Covid-19 were reported on Martha’s Vineyard Wednesday, but with nine confirmed cases and counting, a flurry of preparations continued around the Island.

Both the Martha’s Vineyard Hospital and Island boards of health reported no new cases as of Wednesday afternoon.

Both are reporting numbers daily now, in a different format.

The hospital is reporting test information and confirmed numbers of cases. The boards of health are reporting positive cases, both from laboratory testing and what are termed symptomatic diagnoses, with a breakdown by age and gender. The boards of health, which are responsible for community contact tracing, can interpret confirmed cases more broadly by including symptomatic cases.

As of Wednesday, to date the hospital had tested 113 people, with eight positive results, 89 negative results and 16 pending. A drive-through testing facility is set up at the hospital, by appointment only for patients who have received prior screening from their primary care doctor. No one is currently hospitalized for treatment of Covid-19.

The boards of health added a ninth confirmed case to the list Tuesday when they reported a symptomatic case that is being fully tracked for community contact. Test results in that case were inconclusive, but the doctor believes the case is positive, and the boards of health are treating it as such, Tisbury health agent Maura Valley said.

Statewide, numbers continued to surge Wednesday, with 1,118 new cases, bringing the total to 7,738. There were 33 new deaths from the disease, bringing the total number of deaths to 122.

State reporting combines numbers for Dukes and Nantucket counties, but due to a time lag in reporting test results from private laboratories, the numbers are not always current, Ms. Valley said.

Epidemiologists are predicting a surge in cases throughout the commonwealth over the next two weeks.

A statewide stay-at-home advisory has been extended to May 4, and similar extensions are expected on the Island, where strict stay-at-home orders are in effect in every town. Construction bans are also in place.

Aquinnah selectmen voted Wednesday morning to extend the townwide state of emergency for another month.

The Steamship Authority said it would extend its reduced ferry schedule until early May, as traffic continues to fall steeply.

On Wednesday morning a convoy of National Guard trucks arrived by ferry to deliver an isolation tent to the Edgartown house of correction. Dukes County sheriff Bob Ogden said the tent was put up as a precaution for staff if needed. There are no confirmed cases of Covid-19 among inmates at the jail, the sheriff said.

Other emergency supply deliveries were under way in Tisbury from National Guardsmen, with a large cargo load of personal protective equipment (PPE) was delivered to emergency managers for distribution Islandwide.

A flashing illuminated sign is now in place at the ferry terminal in Vineyard Haven, warning people coming off the boat:

“Stay Home 14 Days.”
