The number of reported cases went up 844 (+1.0%) in the latest statistics, which is a slower rate of increase than the day before, when reported cases were up 1,022 (+1.3%). The number of TOTAL test results was 1,066,585 (up 19,564 from 1,047,021 yesterday), which is still below what we need, according to researchers at Harvard (that would be 22,422/day for mitigation, 81,741/day for suppression). As for hospitalizations, they went up 86 (+1.2%), from 7,351 to 7,437, which is the same rate of increase than the day before, when hospitalizations were up 84 (+1.2%).
