Testing

UDOH reports that 2,257,389 Utahns have been tested so far, an increase of 6,185 people tested yesterday.

Of these, a total of 375,669 gave positive results for COVID-19. This represents an increase of 560 new positive cases since Monday’s report.

The average of 7 days for positive tests is 529 per day.

The average of 7 days for the percentage positivity of “people over people” is 8.8%. The average of 7 days for the percentage positivity of “tests over tests” is 4.24%.

hospitalization

Currently, there are 187 people hospitalized with confirmed cases of COVID-19, and 73 of these people are in intensive care units. Another 23 patients are hospitalized with suspected cases of COVID-19.

UTAs in Utah are occupied by 66.2%. ICU beds in state referral centers are full of 67.3%.

The referral centers are the 16 hospitals in Utah with the capacity to provide the best care for patients with COVID-19. Because most patients are transferred to these facilities, their use is the best reflection of Utah’s true hospital capacity when looking at ICU beds.

Another 13 Utahns lost their lives as a direct result of COVID-19. Nine of them died before Feb. 1, officials said.
