hospitalizations have surpassed 100,000 for the first time since January, nearly doubling since the start of August.
While the figure remains below the country’s winter peak, hospitals in some parts of the U.S. are straining under the load, and officials in states including Georgia, Kentucky, Tennessee and Idaho have requested extra personnel and resources. The number of patients in hospital beds with confirmed and suspected Covid-19 cases hit 100,517 on Tuesday before falling slightly to 100,059 on Wednesday, according to the latest data posted by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. That is up from 53,529 on Aug. 1.
The last time hospitalizations neared those levels was in late January, at the end of a prolonged and deadly winter surge. At the peak, on Jan. 14, Covid-19 hospitalizations stood at 142,229.
