Hospitalizations from COVID-19 are surging in the Southern United States with some states seeing record numbers of patients as the country faces a wave of coronavirus infections fueled by the delta variant.
Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards said Monday that looking ahead to Tuesday s reported hospitalization numbers, there are more hospitalizations than at any other point in the pandemic.
Edwards did not give the exact number of hospitalized patients, but said it was more than the official count of 1,984 that health officials announced Monday at noon.
The news follows Florida s announcement Sunday that more than 10,000 COVID-19 patients were hospitalized in the state, surpassing Florida s record.
