The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services released data Wednesday showing that 2,253 Florida hospital inpatients had COVID-19, as the number steadily increases.
The total was up from 2,157 inpatients with COVID-19 on Tuesday. The new data also showed 189 COVID-19 patients were in intensive-care units, up from 178 on Tuesday.
Florida in recent weeks has seen steady increases in COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations, though the numbers remain far lower than early in the year,
when the highly contagious omicron variant of the coronavirus swept across the state.
