Local COVID-19 updates

Great to see deaths and cases down day-to-day; however, the corresponding drop in tests makes me suspicious that the cases drop, at least, may be due to weekend reporting wonkiness rather than an actual improvement in the overall situation. Drops in estimated active cases and hospitalization counts are encouraging, as are the drops in the seven-day averages for hospitalizations and percent-positive (both day-to-day and compared to two weeks ago). Less encouraging is the day-to-day uptick in the seven-day case average, and the fact that all three averages are still well above their lows of last summer.
The town of Acton's current Google Data Studio dashboard is showing 12 active and 961 cumulative cases as of May 2. The most recent "newsflash style update" at 6PM on April 27, 2021 reported 951 cumulative cases with 13 individuals in isolation, 906 persons recovered and 32 fatalities.
