COVID-19 Hospitalizations Remain High In San Angelo

SAN ANGELO, TX -- The coronavirus trend that begins weeks ago appears to be here to stay.

On Thursday, the San Angelo Health Department reported 120 new cases of COVID-19.

According to the data, there are currently 1,658 active cases and 93 patients hospitalized. Thursday's cases were confirmed using 26 PCR tests and 94 antigen tests.

As previously reported Trauma  Service Area K could reach day 6 of 7 of hospitalizations hovering over 15 percent if the number of patients in the hospital doesn't decrease.

The data released by the city shows that the same number of patients were hospitalized on Wednesday and Thursday. 

This could indicate that the hospitalization rate will only drop if new staffed beds are added or if patients in other counties are released from the hospital.
