    Report Timeframe: July 23 to July 29, 2023
    Statewide hospitalization levels: Low. New COVID-19 admissions are below 10 per 100,000 Vermonters per day.
    • New hospital admissions of patients with COVID-19, last 7 days: 1.92 per 100K o 12 total new admissions with COVID-19
    The number of reportable COVID-19 cases is still available in this report, below. Laboratory- confirmed and diagnosed COVID-19 cases and COVID-19 outbreaks must still be reported to the Vermont Department of Health
    The seven-day rolling average of hospital patients admitted with a laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 was around one. The number is the daily average of the previous seven days; for example, the value for May 28 is the daily average for the days of May 21 through May 27.
    The Electronic Surveillance System for the Early Notification of Community-based Epidemics (ESSENCE) reflects all individual visits from participating emergency departments1, to identify visits for COVID-Like Illness (CLI). During this reporting period the proportion of emergency visits in participating departments that included CLI was less then 1%, lower than the same time in 2022.
    Only 3 specimens are available for the week of 5/28/23. (Sources: LabCorp; Quest; Health Department Whole Genome Sequencing program)
    0 Windham outbreaks
    996 cumulative state deaths; 10 in July
