With the state of Illinois setting new records for patients hospitalized with COVID-19, there has been some pushback on just how those hospitalizations are defined.
Arwady said that the number of patients who have COVID but are being hospitalized for something else do not represent “the majority” of hospitalization numbers.Hospitalizations in Chicago are still up, with an average of 189 new admissions per day in the city. That is up 32% from last week, and remains the highest-level the city has seen during the pandemic.
While hospital admissions have slowed in recent days, officials are still calling on residents to get vaccinated and boosted, and to wear masks while in indoor public places. Arwady says that she will address the way that hospitalization metrics are tabulated in a Facebook Live event on Thursday.
