CMS has posted the NH data for the week ending July 23, 2023.

For a listing of vaccination rates for individual nursing homes, click here. The information comes up in an Excel spreadsheet entitled: Recent Facility Resident and Staff Vaccination Rates and Other Data, as reported for week ending 07/09/23. It looks identical to the spreadsheets we saw prior to the declared end of the PHE on May 11, 2022.

As of May 11, 2023, COVID-19 Community Levels (CCLs) and COVID-19 Community Transmission Levels are no longer calculatable; associated visualizations have been removed from COVID Data Tracker. The “COVID-19 Integrated County View” tab has been renamed “COVID-19 Vaccinations by County.” County-level hospitalization data will be available at COVID-19 Hospitalizations, Deaths, and Emergency visits by Geographic Area.

The above was posted August 3, 2023.

You’ll note that there has been a 12.1% increase in hospital admissions for COVID-19 in the last week.  COVID-19 is not done with us yet.

On that same page, you’ll find this data:
