HHS Data Shows Florida COVID-19 Hospitalizations Have Dipped
TALLAHASSEE (CBSMiami/NSF) – U.S. Department of Health and Human Services data posted online Monday revealed the number of Florida hospital inpatients with COVID-19 dropped during the past week.
The data showed 1,228 inpatients with COVID-19, down from 1,351 a week earlier.
The data Monday also showed 239 COVID-19 patients in intensive-care units, down from 243 a week earlier.
