The hospitalization total had dropped as low as 209 in mid-April.
Health officials have noted that many of the COVID-positive patients were admitted to hospitals for a reason other than the virus, and many only realized they were infected when they were tested upon admission.
The figures have both been slowly rising over the past several weeks, with the rate of new admissions reaching 6.4 per 100,000 residents on Thursday, up from 5.2 a week ago. The portion of hospital beds in the county occupied by virus patients was 3.1% as of Thursday, up from 2.7% from a week ago. Health officials are already strongly recommending that people wear masks indoors. Masks are still mandatory in high-risk settings such as health-care facilities, aboard transit vehicles and in transit centers, in correctional facilities and at long-term care facilities.
