Local COVID-19 updates
Jun. 15th, 2020 10:08 pmAs of 4PM today, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts is reporting 23 newly reported confirmed COVID-19 deaths (for a total of 7,490 confirmed deaths), 58 newly reported confirmed cases (for a total of 101,334) and 4,492 new patients tested by molecular tests (for a total of 712,875), with a total of 894,616 molecular tests administered to date. The ratio of newly confirmed cases to individuals tested by molecular test is 1.3%. The state also reported no newly reported probable deaths (for a total of 157), 29 newly reported probable cases (for a total of 4,356), and 304 patients tested by antibody tests (for a total of 57,886). In total, the state reported 23 new deaths (for a total of 7,647) and 87 new cases (for a total of 105,690).
Newly reported deaths and cases were both down, which is fantastic. However, the number of molecular tests was way down. I really, really hope that's an artifact of relatively wonky weekend reporting.

The town of Acton has not posted an update today; the most recent report, as of 8:30AM on June 13, reported 171 cumulative cases with 2 individuals in isolation, 148 persons recovered and 21 fatalities. The warrant for the Town Meeting on June 29 was posted today; in order to keep people at least six feet apart to prevent coronavirus infection, the plan is to use both the high school gymnasium and the adjacent parking lot for seating. (Usually, Town Meeting happens in the school auditorium; not this time, though, for tolerably obvious reasons.)
