The number of COVID hospitalizations in Pennsylvania fell to 3,887 on Monday, a continued decline from the peak of about 6,300 in December, when there was concern hospitals might become overwhelmed.
Fewer than 800 were in intensive care, leaving about 3,660 intensive care beds available around the state.
New infections also are falling, with 3,934 new infections reported Monday. The recent levels of new infections mean Pennsylvania has likely avoided a repeat of the surge that came a few weeks after Thanksgiving, when daily new infections surpassed 12,000.
The state also reported 138 new deaths on Monday, bringing Pennsylvania’s total to 20,664 since the start of the pandemic about a year ago. The new infections bring the state’s total to 807,867.
As of Monday morning, Pennsylvania had received about 1.6 million doses of COVID-19 vaccine and had administered about 755,000 doses, or 5,816 doses per 100,000 residents, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
