Arizona health officials are reporting 2,176 new confirmed COVID-19 cases but no additional deaths.
The latest numbers released Monday push the state’s pandemic totals to 1,338,982 cases and 23,519 known deaths.
Hospitalizations due to the virus numbered at 2,496 as of Sunday.
Arizona’s largest hospital systems warn that a surge in hospitalizations of COVID-19 patients and patients seeking treatment for other issues could lead soon to a rationing of care.
Hospitals in more rural parts of the state have put in requests to the federal government for more medical staff. All have said the majority of their COVID-19 patients are unvaccinated.
