Knoxville TN reports 5 ICU beds available in 19 regional hospitals

The Knox County Health Dept. (KCHD) posted daily COVID-19 updates through the last full week of May. Starting on June 2, the COVID-19 case numbers will only be updated here on Wednesdays. KCHD will also stop reporting currently hospitalized patients. That number was manually reported each day by the hospitals, and KCHD said "the local situation no longer requires this level of reporting from our hospital partners."

The numbers may vary slightly from the official state numbers that are released weekly here because of reporting differences.

August 11

There are just 5 total ICU beds available in all 19 regional hospitals, according to new data from KCHD. Current hospitalizations also grew from 230 to 333.
