COLUMBUS, Ind. — The number of patients hospitalized with confirmed cases of COVID-19 at Columbus Regional Hospital dipped slightly over the past week but generally remained higher than lows seen during late June and early July.
On Friday, there were two patients hospitalized at CRH with confirmed COVID-19 infections, but hospital officials were still awaiting test results for three additional patients who had been admitted to the hospital with symptoms consistent with the virus, hospital officials said.
This week, hospitalizations typically hovered between five and seven, after reaching double digits last week for the first time since early June, according to figures provided by the hospital.
The hospital updated last week’s figures on COVID-19 hospitalizations after receiving tests results from additional hospitalized patients, increasing the number of hospitalizations between July 19 and 24.
The updated figures show that hospitalizations reached 10 on July 21 and 12 on July 22, the highest since May 23, when there were 13 people hospitalized.
