The seven day average positivity rate is 1.86%, compared to 2.02% yesterday. Excluding higher education, the seven day average positivity rate is 3.16%, compared to 3.38% yesterday. The number of estimated active cases was 35,874 (442 less than yesterday - down 1.2%). The state also reported 1 newly reported probable death (1 more than yesterday) for a total of 318 and 204 newly reported probable cases (56 more than yesterday - up 37.8%) for a total of 29,640. Combining the confirmed and probable numbers gives 47 new deaths for a total of 15,826 and 1,520 new cases for a total of 569,284. There were 927 COVID-19 patients in hospital (43 less than yesterday - down 4.4%), 234 COVID-19 patients in ICUs (12 less than yesterday - down 4.9%) and 153 COVID-19 patients on ventilators (intubated) (1 more than yesterday - up 0.7%).
Of the four overview trends (formerly the Page 2 "key metrics"), the 7-day average of newly confirmed cases is 1,192.0 (31 more than yesterday - up 2.7%), 659% above the lowest observed value of 157.0 on 7/4/2020 and 81.0% below the highest observed value of 6,241.0 on 1/8/2021. The 7-day weighted average of positive molecular test rate is 1.86% (0 less than yesterday - down 7.6%), 142% above the lowest observed value of 0.8% on 9/21/2020 and 93% below the highest observed value of 27.7% on 4/15/2020. The 7-day average number of COVID-19 patients in hospital is 1,042.0 (27 less than yesterday - down 2.5%), 572% above the lowest observed value of 155.0 on 8/26/2020 and 74% below the highest observed value of 3,874.0 on 4/27/2020. The 7-day average number of COVID-19 deaths is 42.0 (2 less than yesterday - down 4.5%), 281% above the lowest observed value of 11.0 on 9/9/2020 and 76% below the highest observed value of 175.0 on 4/24/2020.
Statewide, hospitals reported 9,141 non-ICU beds, of which 6,822 (74.6%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 693 (7.6%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 1,626 (17.8%) remained available. Hospitals also reported 1,442 ICU beds, of which 836 (58.0%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 234 (16.2%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 372 (25.8%) remained available. By comparison, hospitals reported yesterday a total of 9,186 non-ICU beds, of which 7,056 (76.8%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 724 (8%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 1,406 (15.3%) remained available. Hospitals also reported yesterday a total of 1,438 ICU beds, of which 843 (58.6%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 246 (17.1%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 349 (24.3%) remained available.
Two weeks ago, the 7 day confirmed case average was 2,058.0, the 7 day confirmed deaths average was 53.0, the 7 day hospitalization average was 1,566.0, and the 7 day weighted average positivity rate was 2.96% (or 4.64% excluding higher education).

Very good to see deaths and cases both down day-to-day; also good to see the continuing decline in hospitalization counts. And it's really nice to see the seven-day percent-positive rate reported below two percent for the first time since November 5, 2020.
The town of Acton's current Google Data Studio dashboard is showing 33 active and 744 cumulative cases as of February 18, and has apparently not been updated since. The most recent "newsflash style update" at 1PM on February 19, 2021 reported 744 cumulative cases with 33 individuals in isolation, 680 persons recovered and 31 fatalities.
