The daily raw data file used to create this report is available here.

The good news? Deaths, cases and percent-positive all down. However, the proverbial grain of salt is needed, as it's the weekend. ICU counts are up, which is not good news. Oh, and we're now over 90,000 estimated active cases. Yay us?

The town of Acton's current Google Data Studio dashboard is showing 59 active and 575 cumulative cases as of January 9. The most recent "newsflash style update" at 9PM on December 15 reported 433 cumulative cases with 63 individuals in isolation, 345 persons recovered and 25 fatalities.
