Hospitalizations for the coronavirus climb again as Maryland reports 736 new infections
For the second day in a row, Maryland officials reported an uptick in the number of people hospitalized with the coronavirus even as the number of infections continued a downward trend.
Gov. Larry Hogan’s office has been closely tracking hospitalizations as it determines the next steps in Maryland’s reopening plan. After tracking downward for much of May, hospitalizations rose by 36 Tuesday and 23 Wednesday, climbing to 1,338. Cases requiring intensive care remained flat at 520.
There were 102 new hospitalizations reported Wednesday, bringing the total of patients who have ever been hospitalized during the outbreak to 8,281. The state reported a total of 3,401 been released from isolation.
Even with increase in hospitalizations, Hogan relaxed more restrictions Wednesday, allowing outdoor dining at restaurants, the return of youth sports and camps, and the reopening of pools and drive-in movies.
