  Updated Dec. 2, 2020
  
  • This week, CDC received forecasts of daily, new reported COVID-19 hospitalizations over the next 4 weeks from 12 modeling groups.
  
  • Four national forecasts predict a likely increase in the number of new hospitalizations per day over the next 4 weeks, one forecast predicts a likely decrease, and four forecasts are uncertain about the trend or predict stable numbers. For December 28, the forecasts estimate 2,300 to 23,000 new COVID-19 hospitalizations per day.
  
  • State-level forecasts also show a high degree of variability, which results from multiple factors. Hospitalization forecasts use different sources of data for COVID-19 cases or deaths, with different limitations, and make different assumptions about social distancing.
