Nationwide, there's been a 10% increase in people hospitalized with COVID. It's just more than 7,100 weekly hospitalizations. Still, well below what it was during the peak of the omicron strain: More than 150,000.
The number of North Carolinians hospitalized with COVID-19 stands at 210 patients, a 27% increase from the first week of summer.
"We are seeing that increase in numbers, and we can see this across the system," Wohl said.
The rise is also confirmed by the latest wastewater testing samples. COVID-shed particles continue to be tracked by the state -- with parts of Raleigh, south Durham and Chapel Hill-Carrboro now testing in the top percentile for infection.
"You see increases in infection and eventually you see increases in hospitalization just because of the people who are vulnerable, either because they're not vaccinated or they're under-vaccinated or didn't respond as well as we'd like to vaccine. Those people end up getting sicker," said Wohl. "The good news is we have much less COVID-19 being circulated. It looks like and we certainly see much less consequential COVID-19."
