The rate of COVID-19 tests that come back positive is considered an important barometer, with any rate of 5% or more considered too high. The average number of people needing breathing ventilators was down by about 115 per day from a week earlier. As of Sunday, 618 COVID-19 patients were in intensive care and 389 were on ventilators.
Pennsylvania last week began opening four regional centers around the state to care for COVID-19 patients well enough to leave the hospital but still in need of long-term care. Hospitals for weeks had described a shortage of nursing home and rehabilitation openings, preventing them from discharging patients and creating hospital bed shortages and log jams.
