Further drop in COVID-19 patients in Louisiana hospitals

Louisiana health officials today report 884 coronavirus patients in hospitals.  That's a drop of 47 since yesterday.

At the peak of hospitalizations, there were more than 2,100 people in Louisiana admitted for treatment.


The number of COVID-19 deaths reported today increased by 21 across the state.  That is in line with recent slower increases.

Not in line, however, is the number of new cases reported today in Louisiana.  The positive test result total jumped by 1,188.

The Louisiana Department of Health says more than half of those come from labs just reporting for the first time, resulting in the much larger increase than recorded in recent days.  Some of the newly reported test results reportedly date back to March.
