Hamilton County Sees Weekly COVID Cases Decrease, Hospitalizations Still Concerning

1:00 Health Commissioner Greg Kesterman says the county is averaging about 524 cases a day over the previous seven days. Two weeks ago, the county was seeing 716 cases per day. While hospitalizations countywide are decreasing, the region's hospitals are still dealing with an increasing amount of patients. "For the region, we are seeing about 750 patients per day in the hospital," Kesterman said. "This is the same number that I reported last week, so we're not seeing any declines in those numbers." Despite increasing hospitalizations, officials point to changes the community made to prevent the spread of the virus during Thanksgiving as the reason for lower case numbers.
