Lynn, Revere see double-digit surge in virus cases

Lynn and Revere both reported a double-digit increase in new coronavirus cases on Tuesday as the state continues to experience a surge.

With 24 new cases reported on Tuesday, Lynn now has 4,043 cases.

Of the city’s total number of cases, 571 are active, 111 residents have died and 3,361 have recovered from the virus, according to city data.
