The number was down from 2,663 inpatients with COVID-19 on Wednesday. Also, the data showed that 427 COVID-19 patients were in intensive-care units, down slightly from 431 on Wednesday.
The numbers of COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations surged in January and December because of the highly contagious omicron variant spreading across the state. But cases and hospitalizations have steadily declined during the past month.
