Mixed bag of news day-to-day; deaths and cases are down, but estimated active cases are up. Hospitalizations are down, but ICU counts are up. The seven-day averages are also mixed, with average cases up and average hospitalizations, deaths and percent-positive down. Compared to two weeks ago, averaged for deaths, cases and percent-positive are actually down, but hospital counts are up.
The town of Acton's current Google Data Studio dashboard is showing 38 active and 896 cumulative cases as of April 8, and has not been updated since. The most recent "newsflash style update" at 1:30PM on April 3, 2021 reported 871 cumulative cases with 38 individuals in isolation, 801 persons recovered and 32 fatalities.
