Here is Dr. Gerald’s latest weekly epidemiology and hospital capacity report. Here is his narrative summary (below) and here’s his full weekly report.
Cases and hospitalizations continue to increase state-wide with the more rural, previously spared counties leading the charge. Pima County saw a second straight week with a fairly large increase. Last week’s increase was due in part to a confirmed outbreak in a correctional facility. Even so, there is ample evidence of broader community-level transmission.
While not yet a crisis, hospitals capacity is at the point where Covid and non-Covid occupancy is placing a noticeable strain on personnel and resources.
