Statewide, hospitals reported 9,238 non-ICU beds, of which 6,541 (70.8%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 1,181 (12.8%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 1,516 (16.4%) remained available. Hospitals also reported 1,473 ICU beds, of which 811 (55.1%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 322 (21.9%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 340 (23.1%) remained available. By comparison, hospitals reported yesterday a total of 9,243 non-ICU beds, of which 6,559 (71.0%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 1,219 (13%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 1,465 (15.8%) remained available.

Two weeks ago, the 7 day confirmed case average was 2,966.0, the 7 day confirmed deaths average was 59.0, the 7 day hospitalization average was 2,180.0, and the 7 day weighted average positivity rate was 5.51% (or 7.10% excluding higher education).
The daily raw data file used to create this report is available here.
Cases up day-to-day, deaths constant, but positivity continues to drop and that's good to see. Even better, all the hospitalization counts ticked downward, and the seven-day averages are all happily lower than two weeks ago. Now if only Governor Baker would get the state's act together on vaccinations...
The town of Acton's current Google Data Studio dashboard is showing 30 active and 691 cumulative cases as of February 3, and has apparently not been updated since.
