WA Hospital Association Shares Concerns Over Stagnant COVID Cases
SEATTLE — COVID-19 case counts and hospitalizations have remained relatively stable over recent weeks, but are still much too high, warns the Washington State Hospital Association.
At the association's briefing Monday, WSHA Executive Vice President Taya Briley explained that, while the situation does not appear to be getting worse, Washington's average case counts are higher than they ever had been before this latest surge, and that extra precautions and restrictions may be necessary if they don't start to improve.
According to Briley, an average of 1,007 Washingtonians were hospitalized with COVID-19 each day of the week ending Monday.
"One thousand hospitalizations per day was the peak of the surge that we had in December of 2020, and at that time, if you remember, we introduced significant additional mitigation measures to try and get the COVID-19 numbers under control," Briley said.
