How we process this data →

COVID-19 data reflects confirmed hospital admissions reported through the CDC's NHSN system. Activity levels are based on new admissions per 100,000 population per week. Hospitalization data may undercount total infections as most COVID-19 cases are now managed at home. Learn more about our methods .

Frequently Asked Questions

How is COVID-19 activity measured on this site?

This page tracks COVID-19 using hospital admission data from the CDC NHSN system. The metric shown is new COVID-19-confirmed hospital admissions per 100,000 people per week. This captures the burden on the healthcare system.

Why use hospitalization data instead of case counts?

Since widespread testing ended, COVID-19 case counts no longer reflect true infection levels. Hospitalization data provides a more reliable measure of disease severity and healthcare impact. It is consistently reported by hospitals nationwide.

How often is COVID-19 data updated?

COVID-19 hospitalization data is updated weekly. The CDC publishes new hospital capacity and admission data each week, typically with a 1-2 week reporting lag.
