The 7-day average of COVID-related hospitalizations also continues to plummet. It was down 13% this week compared to the previous 7 days, and has been down every day since April 19.

This is all according to the CENTERS FOR THE CONTROL AND PREVENTION OF DISEASES. The Washington Post he had more good news to report.

Daily reported cases across the country this week fell 23.7%, while daily deaths fell 31.6% and hospitalizations fell 8.8%.
