COVID-19 hospitalizations in Michigan continue to decline steadily at the state level.
As of Thursday, the number of confirmed COVID patients in hospitals statewide was more than 3,539, which includes pediatric patients, according to the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services. The number of confirmed adult patients in the intensive care unit was 830.
For the most part, the trend holds at the regional level as well. Compared to last week, six of Michigan’s eight health care regions saw reductions in hospitalized COVID patients. One, southwest Michigan’s Region 5, saw a minor increase. Region 7 in northern Michigan saw no change, recording 115 confirmed hospitalizations on both December 3 and December 10.
