One key metric: declining hospitalizations. Statewide, the number of people hospitalized each day with COVID-19 has dropped in the past month from nearly 2,000 during a brief third surge to less than 1,000. To put that in context, last fall, the figure peaked at 6,000, and the fear then was that hospitals could become overwhelmed.
Unvaccinated? Beware: As state loosens restrictions, the risk of a serious COVID-19 infection may be higher than it was last summer.
