Fewer people are hospitalized with Covid-19 in the United States now than at any other point in the pandemic, according to data from the US Department of Health and Human Services.
As of Friday, there are 16,138 people in the hospital with Covid-19 -- fewer than there have ever been since the HHS first started tracking in July 2020. Just 2% of hospital beds are currently in use for Covid-19 patients.
The number of Covid-19 patients in the ICU is also at a low point, with less than 2,000 ICU beds in use for Covid-19 patients in the United States overall, HHS data shows.
