The federal government regularly releases detailed hospital-level data which reveal the toll the pandemic is taking on health care facilities. These data show how many inpatient and ICU beds are in use on a weekly basis — and what portion of them are occupied by COVID-19 patients.
Nationally, COVID-19 hospitalizations had been declining since mid-January, but in late March they began rising again in some places.
Using an analysis from the University of Minnesota’s COVID-19 Hospitalization Tracking Project, NPR has created a tool that allows you to see how your local hospital and your county overall are faring.
Look up the hospitals where you live to find out how many beds are filled with COVID-19 patients, and the average for hospitals in your county.
