COVID-related hospitalizations rose by 8.6% the week ending Nov. 11, while deaths attributed to COVID increased by over 9% during that same period, the CDC said.
Six states - Nevada, Montana, Wyoming, Kansas, Nebraska and Hawaii - all have counties with what the CDC considers high levels of reported COVID-19 new hospital admissions in the week ending Nov. 11. Still, the majority of the country had low levels of new COVID hospitalizations during the same period.
Meanwhile, the Biden administration has announced more free COVID tests for those that didn't take advantage of the kits made available in September. Specifically, Americans will be able to order up to eight at-home testing kits online through covid.gov/tests and get them delivered for free by the U.S. Postal Service.
