There have been a large number of hospitalizations for COVID-19 over the past few months. Many people have come down with more severe or complicated cases of the virus, leading to higher rates of hospitalization. There has also been an increase in people requiring additional care and treatment as medical facilities begin to become overwhelmed by the virus.

The recent surge in hospitalizations for coronavirus disease (Covid) could be caused by a range of factors including an increase in viral severity, more aggressive treatment practices, and more sensitive testing. It is also possible that there are additional unreported cases from long-term hospitalizations or non-hospitalized people whose health has recently declined sharply. Additionally, increased vaccine availability may be allowing people to get sicker sooner before being admitted to the hospital.
