Covid-19 hospitalizations continued tracking downward in the U.S., with the seven-day average of patients with confirmed or suspected infections falling to about 111,000, down 30% from a peak in January
Hospitalizations continued tracking downward in the U.S., with the seven-day average of patients with confirmed or suspected Covid-19 falling to about 111,000, down 30% from a peak in January, according to data from the Department of Health and Human Services.
Deaths are holding steady, with the seven-day average standing at 2,531 on Monday, according to data from Johns Hopkins University. Though there is a growing body of evidence that the highly contagious Omicron variant is less likely to cause severe illness than earlier strains of the virus, particularly among people who have been fully vaccinated, the number of infections means deaths—a lagging indicator—remain high, public health experts say.
