Statewide, hospitals reported 9,094 non-ICU beds, of which 7,977 (87.7%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 390 (4.3%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 727 (8.0%) remained available. Hospitals also reported 1,285 ICU beds, of which 921 (71.7%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 140 (10.9%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 224 (17.4%) remained available. By comparison, hospitals reported yesterday a total of 9,027 non-ICU beds, of which 7,965 (88.2%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 388 (4%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 674 (7.5%) remained available. Hospitals also reported yesterday a total of 1,274 ICU beds, of which 930 (73.0%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 140 (11.0%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 204 (16.0%) remained available.
Two weeks ago, the 7 day confirmed case average was 973.0, the 7 day confirmed deaths average was 11.0, the 7 day hospitalization average was 548.0, and the 7 day weighted average positivity rate was 2.05%.
The daily raw data file used to create this report is available here.
Day-to-day deaths steady, cases down a tad, hospitalizations up a tad, percent-positive up a tad. Overall, not horrific news, but not anything that qualifies as great, either. Still looking at high levels of community transmission as defined by the CDC (unsurprising, given our daily new case rate).
The town of Acton's current Google Data Studio dashboard is showing 21 active and 1,194 cumulative cases as of October 28. 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.
