There has been a significant shift in areas of the United States regarding COVID-19 hospitalizations in the past two weeks. COVID-19 hospitalizations have markedly declined in the South while at the same time have noticeably increased in northern states.
In the continental U.S., the states that have seen the largest drop in COVID-19 hospitalizations are southern states. In the last two weeks, hospitalizations have plummeted by 41% in Louisiana, 39% in South Carolina, 39% in Florida, 36% in Alabama, 35% in Georgia, and 32% in Tennessee, and there was a 30% reduction in both Mississippi and Kentucky, according to Becker’s Hospital Review.
COVID-19 hospitalizations have unfortunately surged in northern states. New Hampshire has suffered a 42% upswing of coronavirus hospitalizations in the past 14 days; Michigan is experiencing a 22% increase; Colorado is up 14%; Vermont has a rise of 13%; and Minnesota COVID-19 hospitalizations have climbed by 10%.
