Hospitalization Rates Fall
One month ago, 18% of all known positive COVID-19 cases in Maricopa County required hospitalization. 6% required intensive care treatment. As more COVID-19 testing has become available, the hospitalization rate has fallen. Public Health data over the past few days shows 13% of Maricopa County residents with COVID-19 have required hospitalization, and 4% have gone to the ICU. This reflects more people with mild illness being tested. Public Health continues to emphasize that most people who get COVID-19 recover at home with fluids and plenty of rest.

Long-Term Care Facility Cases And Testing
Residents of long-term care facilities are at higher risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19 infection because 1) they live in a communal setting, and 2) they tend to be older with chronic medical conditions. Maricopa County Public Health is working to expand testing inside long-term care facilities, which include skilled nursing facilities, assisted living facilities, rehabilitation facilities, hospice facilities, group homes, and other congregate settings to help identify and control infection in those settings.
