Currently, 554 people are hospitalized with COVID-19, and 194 of those people are in intensive care units. Another 41 people are hospitalized with suspected cases of COVID-19.
The state’s ICUs are 85.1% full, which is just above the threshold for quality ICU care due to the number of caregivers available.
