COVID-19 hospitalizations increased to a record 2,895 today, an increase of 36 from yesterday's report.
That day-to-day increase in hospitalizations is a much lower number than we have seen in recent days. Still, the Louisiana Department of Health reports 5,408 new cases today, and 55 more deaths.
LDH says the vast majority of people hospitalized for COVID over the past week are unvaccinated: 91 percent.
