The Hospital Capacity Map

The Carlson School of Management at the University of Minnesota has released a new interactive map which shows for the first time how hospitals in the United States are coping with epidemic levels of coronavirus. According to the map Tioga County in Pennsylvania currently has the highest percent of hospital beds occupied by Covid-19 patients. While Lincoln County, Nebraska, has the highest rate of ICU beds occupied by people suffering with Covid-19.

The COVID-19 Hospitalization Tracking Project visualizes the percentage of hospital beds occupied by Covid-19 patients at the county level. The map includes two views, one shows the percentage of occupied inpatient beds and the other the percentage of occupied ICU beds. The table beside the map allows users to view all counties listed in order of the level of hospital beds currently occupied by people suffering with Covid-19.

The map uses data provided by each state's Department of Health. The data on the map is updated when states update their own data. The percentage of each county's hospital bed occupancy is based on a seven day rolling average. If you hover over a county on the map you can view the percentage of both inpatient and ICU beds occupied by Covid-19 patients (where data is available).
