The state Department of Public Health reported 13,919 breakthrough cases last week, a 22% spike from the previous week as the more highly contagious omicron variant spreads across the region. The state’s positive test average has been rising, now standing at 6.45% — nearly four times the 1.67% in late October. The daily positive test rate for Tuesday’s report was 7.40%. The state reported 58 new COVID deaths, bringing Massachusetts’ total recorded death toll to 19,927. The 58 deaths are from Saturday through Monday. The seven-day average of deaths is now 23. The peak of daily death average during last winter’s surge was 77 deaths. There are now 1,612 COVID patients in the state, a daily jump of 99 patients. The last time the total patient count surpassed 1,600 was on Feb. 2. Hospitalizations have been spiking in the last month. The state reported that 368 patients are in intensive care units, and 203 patients are currently intubated. Of the 1,612 total hospitalizations, 467 patients are fully vaccinated — or about 29%. Those who are unvaccinated are at a much higher risk for a severe case.
