The 7-day rolling average will be reported during Tuesday’s briefing since there wasn’t enough data this week due to lack of testing because of last week’s winter storm.

City officials also reported that 447 patients are hospitalized, 195 are in the intensive care unit and 111 are on ventilators.

There are 11% of staffed beds available and 66% of ventilators available.
