The seven day average positivity rate is 1.60%, compared to 1.49% yesterday. Excluding higher education, the seven day average positivity rate is 2.74%, compared to 2.58% yesterday.

The 7-day weighted average of positive molecular test rate is 1.60% (0 more than yesterday - up 6.9%), 107% above the lowest observed value of 0.8% on 9/21/2020 and 94% below the highest observed value of 27.7% on 4/15/2020. The 7-day average number of COVID-19 patients in hospital is 559.0 (14 less than yesterday - down 2.4%), 260% above the lowest observed value of 155.0 on 8/26/2020 and 86% below the highest observed value of 3,874.0 on 4/27/2020. The 7-day average number of COVID-19 deaths is 9.0 (1 less than yesterday - down 10.0%), 28% above the lowest observed value of 7.0 on 5/3/2021 and 95% below the highest observed value of 175.0 on 4/24/2020.
Statewide, hospitals reported 9,133 non-ICU beds, of which 7,249 (79.4%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 380 (4.2%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 1,504 (16.5%) remained available. Hospitals also reported 1,380 ICU beds, of which 878 (63.6%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 136 (9.9%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 366 (26.5%) remained available. By comparison, hospitals reported yesterday a total of 9,067 non-ICU beds, of which 7,093 (78.2%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 389 (4%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 1,585 (17.5%) remained available. Hospitals also reported yesterday a total of 1,392 ICU beds, of which 880 (63.2%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 133 (9.6%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 379 (27.2%) remained available.
Two weeks ago, the 7 day confirmed case average was 1,182.0, the 7 day confirmed deaths average was 7.0, the 7 day hospitalization average was 705.0, and the 7 day weighted average positivity rate was 2.11% (or 3.66% excluding higher education).

Deaths down day-to-day (yay!) but newly reported cases up (boo!). Tests were also up, but not by as much as the cases were, so there's no surprise that the seven-day positivity average is up. The other seven-day averages are down day-to-day; the seven-day averages for cases, hospitalizations and percent-positive are also down compared to two weeks ago.
The town of Acton's current Google Data Studio dashboard is showing 8 active and 962 cumulative cases as of May 3. The most recent "newsflash style update" at 6PM on April 27, 2021 reported 951 cumulative cases with 13 individuals in isolation, 906 persons recovered and 32 fatalities.
