That marks the highest level since near the peak of last winter’s surge, when the state’s 14-day average of COVID-19 hospitalizations topped out at 6,106. It also comes a month after many Pennsylvania hospitals began saying they were severely stressed by COVID-19 cases. They further said they have smaller staffs than during the previous peak, and demand for other kinds of care, which had dropped off a year ago, has rebounded.
During the past week Pennsylvania set several records for daily new infections, with the surge driven by the more contagious omicron variant. However, doctors say the delta variant, believed to cause more serious illness than omicron, is still responsible for much sickness.
