Health officials on Wednesday again reported a record low for coronavirus patients in hospitals, as the state’s average virus death and case counts stayed at pandemic-lows.
The state Department of Public Health reported a total number of 115 COVID patients in hospitals. The 115 patients is down nine patients from the previous record low of 124 patients on Tuesday.
There are 40 patients in intensive care units, and 22 patients are currently intubated.
Bay State health officials on Wednesday also reported four more COVID deaths and 56 new virus cases.
Both the seven-day average of daily confirmed deaths — 3.6 — and the average of confirmed cases — 68 — are record low averages for virus deaths and infections.
Sunday’s report of 33 new cases was the lowest single-day case count since last March, and Monday’s 44 new infections was the second-lowest daily count.
A total of more than 8.3 million vaccine doses have been administered, and more than 4 million people are fully vaccinated, according to the daily vaccine report on Tuesday. The state’s goal is to hit 4.1 million fully vaxxed people this month, and that could happen next week.
Overall, the more than 8.3 million total doses administered breaks down to more than 4.3 million people who have received one dose of either the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine; more than 3.7 million people who have received both doses of Pfizer or Moderna; and 266,438 people who have received the single-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
Those figures represent a daily increase of 30,157 doses.
After the tally of 56 new virus cases, the state’s count of estimated active COVID cases has now plummeted to 2,251 cases. The estimated active case count was around 100,000 during the winter surge’s peak.
The four new deaths bring the state’s total recorded death toll to 17,953.
