The seven day average positivity rate is 0.34%, compared to 0.35% yesterday. Excluding higher education, the seven day average positivity rate is 0.45%, compared to 0.46% yesterday.

Statewide, hospitals reported 9,048 non-ICU beds, of which 7,642 (84.5%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 74 (0.8%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 1,332 (14.7%) remained available. Hospitals also reported 1,351 ICU beds, of which 929 (68.8%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 34 (2.5%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 388 (28.7%) remained available. By comparison, hospitals reported yesterday a total of 9,110 non-ICU beds, of which 7,896 (86.7%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 75 (1%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 1,139 (12.5%) remained available. Hospitals also reported yesterday a total of 1,356 ICU beds, of which 966 (71.2%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 32 (2.4%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 358 (26.4%) remained available.
Two weeks ago, the 7 day confirmed case average was 115.0, the 7 day confirmed deaths average was 4.0, the 7 day hospitalization average was 208.0, and the 7 day weighted average positivity rate was 0.53% (or 0.76% excluding higher education).

Pretty good news day-to-day. Newly reported deaths and cases are both down; of course, it's the weekend and reporting tends to be wonky. Hospitalization counts are up slightly, but the estimated active case count continues to set new lows, and the seven-day averages continue to either set or tie their Lowest Observed Values.
The town of Acton's current Google Data Studio dashboard is showing zero active and 981 cumulative cases as of June 19. 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.
