Tennessee’s top health official said Monday that just halfway through August, the state has already shattered its single-month record for new COVID-19 hospitalizations.
A startling statistic is that in the first 15 days of August, we’ve had 1,023 hospitalizations. That is higher than any other full month combined in the pandemic.
Currently, about 2,200 people are hospitalized in Tennessee with COVID-19, with 43 of them children.
