Hospitalizations are on the rise, particularly among young people
SEATTLE - The Washington State Hospital Association (WSHA) is expressing concern about the fourth wave of the coronavirus pandemic.
Hospitalizations declined in January and February and flattened in March, but doctors are now seeing an increase in hospitalizations.
As of Monday morning, 44 hospitals in the state reported more than 600 hospitalizations, which is the most Washington has seen in months. 
"This looks like the same trajectory we saw in November. It's very, very worrisome," said Cassie Sauer, CEO of WSHA.
The highly contagious B117 variant is driving the number of cases and doctors say more and more young people are being hospitalized with the virus.
