Both Cox and Mercy hospitals are reporting a decrease in COVID-19 hospitalizations.
Mercy Hospital CAO Erik Frederick says he has not seen hospitalizations this low since mid-September.
48 COVID+ @MercySGF. Lowest census since 9/17. No new vaccine delivery this week but encouraged by developments at state and fed level. Please continue to register your info and we’ll reach out when it’s time. https://t.co/eu5DSyomX0

CoxHealth CEO Steve Edwards says his hospitals are also seeing a decline in asymptomatic and symptomatic cases as well as total admissions.
Continued easing of Covid hospitalized patients. 111 system (32 non-isolation.) infections are slowing from the holiday crest.
Cox received only 1,000 vaccines today, will focus on employees, related staff, volunteers, -preparing for limited high risk community vaccines next. pic.twitter.com/U3iKOhSwr3
