There has been a modest increase in the COVID-19 positivity rate in our community, which has ranged from 6% to 11% in the past week. While the COVID-19 hospitalization rate has increased only slightly, it may increase further over the next two to three weeks. Currently, UTMB is not planning any immediate changes to our COVID-19 precautions. However, if COVID-19 positivity and hospitalization rates increase, changes in precautions may be necessary.
