One month ago, 127 people were hospitalized throughout the county with a COVID infection, 22 of whom were ICU patients.
According to RUHS, the total number of deaths from likely virus- related complications over the last 35 months stands at 6,837. Last week’s figure was 6,827.
RUHS figures showed that, among those who died while hospitalized with a COVID diagnosis in December, 42% had received the full SARS-CoV-2 therapeutic. In November, 37% of those who died while hospitalized with an infection had received the complete injection regimen, while in October, it was 36%.
