COLUMBUS, Ind. — Columbus Regional Health is reporting the lowest number of COVID-19 patients in more than eight months, with the hospital system going 24 hours without any COVID-19 hospitalizations earlier this week.
On Tuesday morning, there was one patient hospitalized with COVID-19 at CRH, unchanged from Monday but down from 51 people hospitalized on Jan. 9, according to hospital records.
CRH reported zero COVID-19 hospitalizations on Sunday for the first time since June 23.
Hospital officials attributed the decline in hospitalizations to increasing vaccinations of people who may be at higher risk for severe illness and warmer weather, which have led people to gather outdoors less often.
