The seven day average positivity rate is 0.53%, compared to 0.56% yesterday. Excluding higher education, the seven day average positivity rate is 0.76%, compared to 0.79% yesterday. The number of estimated active cases was 4,335 (151 less than yesterday - down 3.4%). The state also reported zero newly reported probable deaths (same as yesterday) for a total of 363 and 17 newly reported probable cases (16 more than yesterday - up 1,600.0%) for a total of 45,929. Combining the confirmed and probable numbers gives 4 new deaths for a total of 17,911 and 143 new cases for a total of 708,083. There were 178 COVID-19 patients in hospital (3 less than yesterday - down 1.7%), 64 COVID-19 patients in ICUs (1 less than yesterday - down 1.5%) and 31 COVID-19 patients on ventilators (intubated) (1 less than yesterday - down 3.1%).
Of the four overview trends (formerly the Page 2 "key metrics"), the 7-day average of newly confirmed cases is 115.0 (7 more than yesterday - up 6.5%), 0% above the lowest observed value of 115.0 on 6/5/2021 and 99.0% below the highest observed value of 6,238.0 on 1/8/2021. The 7-day weighted average of positive molecular test rate is 0.53% (0 less than yesterday - down 4.6%), 0% above the lowest observed value of 0.5% on 6/5/2021 and 98% below the highest observed value of 27.7% on 4/15/2020. The 7-day average number of COVID-19 patients in hospital is 208.0 (7 less than yesterday - down 3.3%), 34% above the lowest observed value of 155.0 on 8/26/2020 and 95% below the highest observed value of 3,874.0 on 4/27/2020. The 7-day average number of COVID-19 deaths is 4.0 (same as yesterday), 0% above the lowest observed value of 4.0 on 6/4/2021 and 98% below the highest observed value of 175.0 on 4/24/2020.
Statewide, hospitals reported 9,056 non-ICU beds, of which 7,485 (82.7%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 114 (1.3%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 1,457 (16.1%) remained available. Hospitals also reported 1,361 ICU beds, of which 898 (66.0%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 64 (4.7%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 399 (29.3%) remained available. By comparison, hospitals reported yesterday a total of 9,170 non-ICU beds, of which 7,736 (84.4%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 116 (1%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 1,318 (14.4%) remained available. Hospitals also reported yesterday a total of 1,361 ICU beds, of which 907 (66.6%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 65 (4.8%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 389 (28.6%) remained available.
Two weeks ago, the 7 day confirmed case average was 309.0, the 7 day confirmed deaths average was 8.0, the 7 day hospitalization average was 312.0, and the 7 day weighted average positivity rate was 0.93% (or 1.45% excluding higher education).
The daily raw data file used to create this report is available here.
Deaths steady (and low) day-to-day; cases down a bunch, but tests down much less proportionately, so maybe this isn't weekend reporting wonkiness after all? Estimated active cases are down again, as are hospitalization counts. The seven-day average for newly reported cases is up slightly, while the average for percent-positive set a new Lowest Observed Value and that for deaths remained constant at the LOV. The hospitalization average continues to drop, as well.
The town of Acton's current Google Data Studio dashboard is showing 3 active and 981 cumulative cases as of June 5. The most recent "newsflash style update" at 11:45AM on May 28, 2021 reported 978 cumulative cases with 3 individuals in isolation, 943 persons recovered and 32 fatalities.
