Statewide, hospitals reported 9,090 non-ICU beds, of which 6,762 (74.4%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 519 (5.7%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 1,809 (19.9%) remained available. Hospitals also reported 1,424 ICU beds, of which 847 (59.5%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 185 (13.0%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 392 (27.5%) remained available. By comparison, hospitals reported yesterday a total of 9,023 non-ICU beds, of which 6,718 (74.5%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 492 (5%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 1,813 (20.1%) remained available. Hospitals also reported yesterday a total of 1,424 ICU beds, of which 853 (59.9%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 180 (12.6%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 391 (27.5%) remained available.
Two weeks ago, the 7 day confirmed case average was 1,182.0, the 7 day confirmed deaths average was 36.0, the 7 day hospitalization average was 983.0, and the 7 day weighted average positivity rate was 1.89% (or 3.11% excluding higher education).

Well, that ain't great. Day-to-day deaths and cases are both up, as is the seven-day average positivity rate and the numbers of COVID-19 patients in hospital and in the ICU. The seven-day averages for cases and hospitalizations are both down, and all the seven-day averages are below where they were two weeks ago, so there's that.
The town of Acton's current Google Data Studio dashboard is showing 17 active and 790 cumulative cases as of March 8. The most recent "newsflash style update" at 5PM on February 26, 2021 reported 766 cumulative cases with 27 individuals in isolation, 707 persons recovered and 32 fatalities.
