Statewide, hospitals reported 9,001 non-ICU beds, of which 7,756 (86.2%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 444 (4.9%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 801 (8.9%) remained available. Hospitals also reported 1,271 ICU beds, of which 899 (70.7%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 158 (12.4%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 214 (16.8%) remained available. By comparison, hospitals reported yesterday a total of 9,061 non-ICU beds, of which 7,839 (86.5%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 451 (5%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 771 (8.5%) remained available.

Two weeks ago, the 7 day confirmed case average was 1,312.0, the 7 day confirmed deaths average was 10.0, the 7 day hospitalization average was 670.0, and the 7 day weighted average positivity rate was 2.26%.

Deaths down day-over-day, thank goodness (although twenty in a day is still way too many); cases up slightly and hospitalizations down a bit. The seven-day averages for cases and hospitalizations are both down; those for percent-positive and deaths are, alas, up. (And the weekend is coming up, which means no reports until Monday. Yay.)
The town of Acton's current Google Data Studio dashboard is showing 26 active and 1,140 cumulative cases as of September 30. 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.
