Local (and not-so-local) COVID-19 updates
Mar. 8th, 2021 05:31 pm( Wall-o-text )
Today's numbers are very much a mixed bag. Day-to-day deaths and cases are both down, which is great; in fact, we're back below a thousand newly reported confirmed cases again. That being said, the number of newly reported tests is down a lot more. In other not-great news, the estimated active case count is up for the third day running, the seven-day averages for cases and positivity are both up, and all the hospitalization counts are up.
Today, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued their initial guidance for folks who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19:
( yes, the vaccinated can visit each other; no, they still need to mask up in public )
We still don't know for sure that vaccinated people can't still transmit the coronavirus, so the CDC guidance errs on the side of caution regarding vaccinated folk interacting with the non-vaccinated. But when everyone in the group has had the jab? Enjoy!
The town of Acton's current Google Data Studio dashboard is showing 16 active and 789 cumulative cases as of March 7; the March 6 numbers were 18 active and 784 cumulative cases. The most recent "newsflash style update" at 5PM on February 26, 2021 reported 766 cumulative cases with 27 individuals in isolation, 707 persons recovered and 32 fatalities.
