The CDC has announced that starting May 1, hospitals are no longer required to report COVID-19 hospital admissions, hospital capacity or hospital occupancy data.
However, the CDC continues to strongly encourage hospitals to voluntarily report this data. Any voluntarily reported data after May 1 will be accessible starting May 10, according to the agency.
CDC data shows that hospitalizations due to COVID-19 reached a record low of 5,615 for the week ending April 20th.
