MOUNT VERNON, VA — COVID-19 hospitalizations continued to decline nationally, but the country still needs time to get back to pre-omicron variant hospital occupancy levels.

Around 128,500 inpatient beds were being used for COVID-19 patients as of Feb. 1, which was a drop of more than 20,000 beds from the prior week, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

State health officials in Virginia reported to the federal government Feb. 1 that approximately 6,928 percent of inpatient beds and 6,733 percent of intensive care unit beds in hospitals across the state were occupied. Around 918 percent of inpatient beds and 6,733 percent of ICU beds statewide were filled by COVID-19 patients, they reported.
