About 5,000 more cases of COVID-19 were reported this week in North Carolina, along with a slight increase in hospital admissions.
Data from the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (NCDHHS) revealed 28,369 cases were reported on June 1. The previous week, nearly 24,000 cases were reported. Additionally, this week saw 734 COVID hospital admissions, up from 643 last week.
The case numbers appear to correlate with early warning indicators tracked by NCDHHS. Wastewater monitoring found this week, 26.5 million virus particles were discovered; last week, the number was 19.1 million.
While most of North Carolina’s 100 counties remain at low levels of coronavirus in their communities, Durham County is now back to high levels. The last time a North Carolina county was at the high level was soon after the maps tracking coronavirus levels were initially created. 15 counties are at the medium level.
The Charlotte area and all of the surrounding counties are still in the “low’ level according to the CDC.
