Hospital admissions to Washington hospitals

Almost every week this year, Oregonians have been admitted to Washington hospitals more often than Idahoans. But as Idaho hospitals filled up with COVID-19 patients and hit "crisis standards," that gap has narrowed.

Notes from Washington State DOH: Data are preliminary and for surveillance purposes only. Counts reflect patients who are flagged by the hospital as inpatient at some point during their stay. Due to differences in defining "inpatient," counts may differ from those reported by other sources.
