The state Department of Health said Wednesday that the adjustment was made after officials resolved a problem with the flow of data in the last week from caseworkers to the state\u2019s reporting system. The result was a drop from 88 hospitalizations to 55. The last time hospitalizations were that low was late August. The state\u2019s hospital tracker shows there are 48 staffed intensive care unit beds and 381 staffed inpatient beds available in North Dakota.<\/p>\n<p>NDDoH<\/p>\n<p>COVID 19 Stats.<\/p>\n<p>Wed.

The reminder was issued in response to the federal government\u2019s recommendation earlier this week that states expand the range of individuals immediately eligible to receive the vaccine, while noting it remains the state\u2019s decision.<\/p>\n<p>North Dakota health officials are reporting a drop in hospitalizations due to the coronavirus and a low percentage of positive daily tests as the state prepares to end its mask mandate and ease business restrictions. The Sunday update showed that hospitalizations were down 10 from Saturday, to 85. Officials say 152 of 4,781 tests processed in the last day came back positive, for a daily positivity rate of 3.61%. There were three new deaths. Data released Saturday by The COVID Tracking Project showed about 371 new cases per 100,000 people in North Dakota over the past two weeks, which ranks 49th in the country per capita. One in every 658 people in North Dakota tested positive in the past week.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>NDDoH<\/p>\n<p>COVID 19 Stats<\/p>\n<p>Sun.

Overall, more than 94,000 people have been infected with COVID-19 and more than 1,300 have died in North Dakota since the pandemic began. The new figures come a day after the state lowered its risk assessment from high risk to moderate risk. The state had initially raised its risk assessment in early November, as cases of COVID-19 were surging. But numbers began decreasing after a statewide mask mandate and business restrictions were implemented.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"css-901oao css-16my406 r-1qd0xha r-ad9z0x r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0\">Please note: as of 12\/26\/20, daily COVID-19 updates on the weekend will be delivered through the NDDoH web dashboard; the social media map &amp; numbers will be published Monday-Friday.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>NDDoH<\/p>\n<p>COVID 19 Stats<\/p>\n<p>Sat.

Health officials say do-it-yourself tracing is not ideal, but with infections and hospitalizations soaring nationwide, it\u2019s likely the most effective way to reach people who may be at risk. Health officials say it&#8217;s taking too long before tracers learn of positive tests. What&#8217;s more, many people won\u2019t pick up the phone or refuse to answer questions when tracers call. Sometimes, there are simply too many positive tests to call everyone. Officials fear transmission will only get worse as people gather for the holidays.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Previously<\/p>\n<p>North Dakota health officials have confirmed six new deaths due to complications from COVID-19 and 241 new positive cases. The additional deaths reported Saturday bring the statewide death toll from the virus to 1,231. The death count is the 41st highest in the country overall and the fourth highest per capita at 161 deaths per 100,000 people, according to researchers from Johns Hopkins. The state said there were 154 people hospitalized with COVID-19 on Friday, an increase of 13.<\/p>\n<p>ND Covid Stats<\/p>\n<p>Sat.

Hospitalizations in our state have fallen rapidly in the past few weeks, and while much of this difference reflects newly discharged cases, part of this drop reflects a quality control effort as case workers catch up with these changes following a recent surge in cases.<\/p>\n<p>Of the 146 hospitalizations whose status was changed from current to discharged, 74 had been discharged in the past two weeks and the remainder were discharged prior to Dec. 1. This was due to a variety of factors, including case managers catching up with follow-up work after a surge of new cases in November; lags in reporting between when patients were actually discharged from facilities to when the NDDoH was notified of the discharges through the Health Information Network; and inconsistent data entry.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe team took time yesterday to verify every individual currently marked as hospitalized and found a number who had been previously discharged,\u201d said Disease Control Director Kirby Kruger. \u201cIn the future, the team will be working more actively with facilities to ensure the information is up to date and accurate and will continue to check the Health Information Network daily for hospitalization information.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/>\nBY THE NUMBERS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>4,917\u00a0\u2013 Total Tests from Yesterday*<\/p>\n<p>1,242,239 \u2013 Total tests completed since\u00a0the\u00a0pandemic began<\/p>\n<p>304\u00a0\u2013 Positive Individuals from Yesterday*****<\/p>\n<p>242 \u2013 PCR Tests | 62 antigen tests<br \/>\n88,686\u00a0\u2013 Total positive individuals since\u00a0the\u00a0pandemic began<\/p>\n<p>5.37% \u2013\u00a0Daily Positivity Rate**<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>2,956 &#8211;\u00a0Total Active Cases<\/p>\n<p>-274\u00a0Individuals from Yesterday<\/p>\n<p>540\u00a0\u2013 Individuals Recovered from Yesterday (410 with a recovery\u00a0date\u00a0of yesterday****)<\/p>\n<p>84,535\u00a0\u2013 Total recovered since\u00a0the\u00a0pandemic began<\/p>\n<p>160\u00a0\u2013 Currently Hospitalized<\/p>\n<p>-117 &#8211;

The state Department of Health also announced that its daily update of virus cases will now include people who take the rapid antigen tests, not just the nasal swab tests that have been employed since early in the pandemic. A dozen people who took the rapid tests eventually died but the health department does not consider them part of the daily report because they were spread out among the last two months. The daily high for deaths was 37 on Nov. 24.<\/p>\n<p>ND Covid Stats<\/p>\n<p>Tues.
