Polity Research Consulting conducted a biennial survey of 400 adult residents of the City of Cambridge between Sept. 9-13, 2020.

The Cambridge Public Health Department (CPHD) reported that the number of known COVID-19 infections among Cambridge residents surpassed 1,000 on June 1, and that nearly 100 residents have died from the disease.
