COVID-19 hospitalizations show the caseload faced by hospitals and indicate the number of serious cases of COVID being treated in intensive care units, or ICUs.
Some people hospitalized with COVID were initially admitted for other reasons. Starting in January 2022, New York began reporting the number of people admitted due to COVID or complications of COVID, shown as "admitted for COVID" below.
New York City's population was 8.3 million as of 2019, the year city health officials use for their measurements.
7-day averages as of
Hospitalizations per 100k vaccinated people | 0.4 |
Hospitalizations per 100k unvaccinated people | 4.9 |
This data shows the historical rise and fall of COVID-19 cases officially documented by the city. Cases were reported to the city are not tracked here, so this is an undercount of total cases.
As of September 2023, New York State no longer tracks data on day-to-day COVID-19 cases.
Also, given lack of testing, health experts no longer consider the number of Covid tests, or test positivity rate, as accurate data points in tracking the virus.
