MA Coronavirus: Where The State's ICU Beds Are

State health officials on Thursday reported another 2,151 cases and 70 deaths due to the coronavirus, increasing totals to 18,941 cases and 503 deaths since the outbreak started. There were 7,447 new tests reported for a total of 94,958 tests.

Here's the latest news on the coronavirus in Massachusetts:

• Health officials projected this week that the coronavirus crisis in Massachusetts could peak on April 20, when the number of hospital beds available for COVID-19 patients will fall 3,180 short of the 8,028 needed, and the number of intensive-care beds will fall 1,596 short of the 1,873 needed.

• People of color account for nearly twice as many cases of the coronavirus as their share of the Massachusetts population, according to partial figures from the state Department of Public Health. We compiled the available demographic data.
• The DCU Center is ready to become the state's first field hospital as healthcare professionals and city and state officials alike continue to cope with the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. While the facility opened its doors on Thursday and is prepared to be fully staffed, the site may not be needed for some time.
• Rhode Island will begin enforcement of quarantine orders for those who are diagnosed with COVID-19 symptoms, those who have been identified as being in close contact with them and anyone who travels to the state by any means, Gov. Gina Raimondo said during her Thursday news conference. Gov. Raimondo said those who violate the quarantines will be punished with fines "in the hundreds-of-dollars range."
• Gov. Charlie Baker said Massachusetts isn't ready to be "writing off" the school year, allowing for some hope students could return to class before the fall. Schools are currently scheduled to reopen May 4, a date districts are eyeing with skepticism amid the seemingly endless coronavirus crisis. Baker closed schools March 15.
• Baker said he signed three executive orders Thursday morning, each aimed at expanding the state's health care capacity. One order will allow for an easier transition for foreign-educated doctors to get licensed in Massachusetts, another will allow nursing school graduates and students in their last semester without licenses to practice under supervision, and the third requires insurers to cover medical costs during the treatment of the COVID-19 virus at out-of-network hospitals.
