The Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention on Sunday reported 150 hospitalizations for COVID-19 around the state, a significant decrease from the previous weekend and down six from Saturday.<\/p>\n
Maine hospitals had 205 COVID-19 patients on Oct. 3, closer to the all-time high of 235 on Sept. 25. Numbers have been steadily falling since then, though 150 statewide patients is still far above the lows Maine saw this summer.<\/p>\n
On Sunday, 48 of those hospital patients were in intensive care and 27 were on ventilators. The state had 57 intensive care unit beds available of a total 328, and 204 ventilators available of 304.<\/p>\n
The Maine CDC doesnt update new case numbers on Sundays, but it does provide hospitalizations and vaccinations.<\/p>\n
As of Sunday, 886,052 people had received their final dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, not counting booster shots. Thats 65.92 percent of the total Maine population. Another 46,007 people have received boosters, according to state data.<\/p>\n
On Saturday, the Maine CDC reported 600 new coronavirus cases and five deaths, bringing cumulative totals to 94,948 cases and 1,075 deaths since the beginning of the pandemic.<\/p>\n
