    Question

    Nationwide, new COVID-19 hospitalizations have declined following the surge due to the Omicron wave. Given the unprecedented case numbers and likely testing capacity constraints, hospitalizations are a more reliable indicator of the Omicron wave's overall impact.

    As of April 6th, the 7-day moving average of confirmed+pending COVID-19 hospitalizations in Virginia is 245.

    Will the 7-day moving average of current confirmed COVID-19 hospitalizations in Virginia cross 1,500 before July 1, 2022?

    This question will resolve as "Yes" if the 7-Day Moving Average of Confirmed COVID-19 Hospitalizations is equal to or greater than 1,500 at any time between April 20, 2022 to June 30, 2022 (inclusive). The "Hospitalization Trends" tab on the Virginia Hospital COVID-19 Dashboard will be used as the definitive source.
