(WVIR) - The University of Virginia Biocomplexity Institute has launched a national COVID-19 Medical Resource Demand Dashboard that can project weekly COVID-19 hospitalization rates and the percentage of occupied hospital beds up to six weeks in advance. The dashboard prediction tool provides an idea of anticipated COVID-19 medical demand, enabling local public health officials, emergency managers, and hospital administrators to better anticipate where and when action will be needed to make sure medical facilities are prepared.
