Hospitalizations for COVID-19 have continued to drop, coming after a relatively small increase in cases over the summer, according to data released by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Hospitalizations fell by 5 percent for the week ending Oct. 14, while emergency department visits also dropped by 11.9 percent, and reported case numbers decreased by 0.7 percent. Deaths rose by 4.2 percent, although officials say that deaths generally lag case and hospital numbers.
