COVID-19 hospitalizations are surging again as the Delta variant spreads across the county.  

Dr. Sanjay Pattani from AdventHealth Orlando said: "We see more patients coming to the hospital that are actually very sick requiring our highest level of care in a very time sensitive manner. We have a very large need for critical care beds with critical care resources." 

Data from the CDC states that hospitalizations have been increasing steadily for more than a month nearing levels we haven't seen since the winter surge. 

At this current pace, we could pass January's record high by next month.
