North Carolina reached a second-straight record-high hospitalization day, possibly reversing the stability we have been seeing over the past two weeks.
The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services updates its website Tuesday at 2 p.m., which revised (lowered slightly) hospitalizations. Despite the revision, Tuesday remained the record-high day until Wednesday. Guilford County is approaching 5,000 cases. Forsyth County reported five more deaths.
