UDoH note: Yesterday afternoon, our data teams discovered an error in the way some hospitals’ capacity data was being recorded by the Utah Healthcare Resource Management System (UHRMS). The error was caused when UHRMS transitioned to a new data reporting system last October. The error has been fixed, and is partially responsible for today’s increase in the number of people currently hospitalized or currently in the ICU. Further, daily hospitalization and ICU data going back to October has been adjusted on the public data dashboard to accurately reflect the corrected data.
There are 843 people currently hospitalized with COVID-19. Total hospitalizations from the beginning of the outbreak are 30,846.
