Latest: Check Hospital Capacity In Austin Area

Updated federal data shows how the ongoing coronavirus pandemic has affected hospitals in Travis County.

AUSTIN, TX — COVID-19 hospitalizations have dipped slightly nationally, but experts warn that there is still a long way to go before the country reaches pre-omicron variant levels.

Around 150,000 inpatient beds were being used for COVID-19 patients as of Jan. 25, which was a drop of more than 8,000 beds from the prior week, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

Still, hospitals continue to be challenged by the large influx of COVID-19 patients. About 78 percent of inpatient beds were in use, and 21 percent of all inpatient beds were occupied by COVID-19 patients according to the HHS. More than 8 out of 10 intensive care unit beds were occupied, and about a third were occupied by COVID-19 patients.

“There may be reason for cautious optimism,” said Emily Pond, a research data analyst with the Johns Hopkins University Coronavirus Resource Center. “The most recent case surge appears to have peaked, with nationwide case totals declining for the first time in over a month.”

State health officials in Texas reported to the federal government Jan. 25 that approximately 78 percent of inpatient beds and 90 percent of intensive care unit beds in hospitals across the state were occupied. Around 24 percent of inpatient beds and 40 percent of ICU beds statewide were filled by COVID-19 patients, they reported.
