Local COVID-19 updates
Feb. 11th, 2021 05:42 pm( Wall-o-text, and the Commonwealth as a whole is no longer in the red zone )
Mixed bag of day-to-day changes - deaths down, which is always good, but cases up by more than tests went up (on a percentage basis), which is worrisome. If it's just a short-term flicker, that's fine; but newly reported cases have been rising for four days, now, and that's not a good sign. Continued drops in hospitalization counts and percent-positive are good to see, as are the various seven-day averages trending further downward.
The weekly city/town numbers are also generally trending in good directions; in particular, the number of highest-risk "red" color coded communities dropped again by a bunch. The state as a whole finally got down to a "yellow" risk code, courtesy of the drop in test positivity below four percent.
The town of Acton's current Google Data Studio dashboard is showing 23 active and 717 cumulative cases as of February 9. The most recent "newsflash style update" at 2:30PM on February 3, 2021 reported 691 cumulative cases with 30 individuals in isolation, 631 persons recovered and 30 fatalities.
