Covid-19 Hospitalizations Rise for Third Week

Hospitalizations due to COVID-19 are once again on the rise for a third week. Now, researchers say there were over 9000 hospitalizations reported for the week ending in July 29 which is a 12% increase over the previous week. Officials note that although there is a rise, the data shows a smaller spike than we've seen during previous surges. An updated COVID-19 vaccine is expected in the fall. The hope is that it will slow any additional hospitalizations and deaths.
