edschweppeAs of 5PM today, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts is reporting zero newly reported confirmed deaths (2 less than yesterday) for a total of 17,576 deaths, 33 newly reported confirmed cases (80 less than yesterday - down 70.8%) for a total of 662,811 cases, and 24,980 newly reported molecular tests (7,796 less than yesterday - down 23.8%). The seven day average positivity rate is 0.42%, compared to 0.44% yesterday. Excluding higher education, the seven day average positivity rate is 0.58%, compared to 0.60% yesterday. The number of estimated active cases was 2,695 (97 less than yesterday - down 3.5%). The state also reported zero newly reported probable deaths (same as yesterday) for a total of 363 and 6 newly reported probable cases (7 less than yesterday - down 53.8%) for a total of 46,064. Combining the confirmed and probable numbers gives 0 new deaths for a total of 17,939 and 39 new cases for a total of 708,875. There were 133 COVID-19 patients in hospital (3 less than yesterday - down 2.2%), 48 COVID-19 patients in ICUs (1 more than yesterday - up 2.1%) and 27 COVID-19 patients on ventilators (intubated) (4 more than yesterday - up 17.4%).
Of the four overview trends (formerly the Page 2 "key metrics"), the 7-day average of newly confirmed cases is 84.0 (2 more than yesterday - up 2.4%), 0% above the lowest observed value of 84.0 on 6/12/2021 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 0.42% (0 less than yesterday - down 4.6%), 0% above the lowest observed value of 0.4% on 6/12/2021 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 162.0 (6 less than yesterday - down 3.6%), 4% above the lowest observed value of 155.0 on 8/26/2020 and 96% 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 6/11/2021 and 98% below the highest observed value of 175.0 on 4/24/2020.
Statewide, hospitals reported 9,091 non-ICU beds, of which 7,610 (83.7%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 85 (0.9%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 1,396 (15.4%) remained available. Hospitals also reported 1,352 ICU beds, of which 928 (68.6%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 48 (3.6%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 376 (27.8%) remained available. By comparison, hospitals reported yesterday a total of 9,166 non-ICU beds, of which 7,892 (86.1%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 89 (1%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 1,185 (12.9%) remained available. Hospitals also reported yesterday a total of 1,365 ICU beds, of which 958 (70.2%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 47 (3.4%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 360 (26.4%) remained available.
Two weeks ago, the 7 day confirmed case average was 171.0, the 7 day confirmed deaths average was 5.0, the 7 day hospitalization average was 249.0, and the 7 day weighted average positivity rate was 0.66% (or 1.00% excluding higher education).
The daily raw data file used to create this report is available here.
Overall good news day-to-day; in particular, for only the third time since the state started reporting, the count of newly reported confirmed deaths statewide was zero. (The two previous occasions were June 30, 2020 and May 11, 2021.) Hopefully we'll see plenty more days like this. Also, the number of newly reported confirmed cases (33) was the lowest daily number yet; the previous low of 58 was on June 15, 2020. In further good news, estimated active cases were down yet again and hospitalizations were down slightly. The seven-day averages for cases, deaths and percent-positive continue to be at their Lowest Observed Values, and that for hospitalizations continues to drop.
The town of Acton's current Google Data Studio dashboard is showing zero active and 981 cumulative cases as of June 12. There have been no new cases shown on this dashboard since June 2. 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.
