Statewide, hospitals reported 8,948 non-ICU beds, of which 7,409 (82.8%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 67 (0.7%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 1,472 (16.5%) remained available. Hospitals also reported 1,336 ICU beds, of which 901 (67.4%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 33 (2.5%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 402 (30.1%) remained available. By comparison, hospitals reported yesterday a total of 9,048 non-ICU beds, of which 7,642 (84.5%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 74 (1%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 1,332 (14.7%) remained available. Hospitals also reported yesterday a total of 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.
Two weeks ago, the 7 day confirmed case average was 116.0, the 7 day confirmed deaths average was 4.0, the 7 day hospitalization average was 201.0, and the 7 day weighted average positivity rate was 0.53% (or 0.75% excluding higher education).

Deaths were constant, but there was a slight uptick in cases day-over-day; then again, we're coming off a weekend, and the absolute numbers are still very low. The estimated active case count hit another low today; the hospitalization counts dropped as well; and the seven-day averages are all once again at 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 20. 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.
