COVID-19 hospitalizations at Yale New Haven Health’s five hospitals have dropped 27% over the past 10 days, Marna Borgstrom, the system’s president and chief executive officer, reported Monday.

With COVID-19 vaccination appointments going unfilled, Yale New Haven Health officials said they would continue to accept walk-up patients at mass vaccination sites such as the one in Mohegan Sun’s Earth Expo & Convention Center.
