    • Total number of new admissions of patients with confirmed COVID-19 in the past 7 days divided by the total population in the Health Service Area, multiplied by 100,000.
    • Percentage of staffed inpatient beds in use by patients with confirmed COVID-19 within the entire Health Service Area (7-day average).
