Local COVID-19 updates
Jun. 21st, 2022 05:34 pmA reminder from the Commonwealth:
( Wall-o-text, covering 4 days of case data and 4 days of death data )
Raw numbers of deaths and cases are up compared to Friday; however, averaged over the four days that today's report covers, deaths and cases are both down substantially. On the other hand, the number of folks hospitalized with COVID-19 is up, which isn't terribly good. Three of the four seven-day averages (cases, hospitalizations, and percent-positive) are down compared to Friday, which is good to see.
Also good to see, although it's not showing up in their API just yet: according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Community Transmission page, nine of Massachusetts' fourteen counties (Barnstable, Bristol, Essex, Franklin, Hampshire, Nantucket, Norfolk, Plymouth, and Worcester) now have seven-day case rates below 100 cases per week per 100k population, which gets them down to the "Substantial" level of community transmission. The remaining five (Berkshire, Dukes, Hampden, Middlesex, and Suffolk), alas, remain in the High category.
The town of Acton's current Google Data Studio dashboard is showing 18 active and 3,574 cumulative cases as of June 20. In the most recent "newsflash style update" at 7PM on December 21, 2021, the town
reported 1538 cumulative cases with 89 individuals in isolation, 1417 recovered and 32 fatalities.
Please note: the daily COVID-19 Interactive Data Dashboard will not be posted on Monday, June 20, the observance day of Juneteenth. Data from Friday, June 17 to Monday, June 20 will be included in the dashboard published on Tuesday, June 21.So, having taken Monday off, what does four days of (holiday/weekend) data look like?
