State officials said the availability of hospital beds has sunk to the lowest level since the pandemic began.
The state's coronavirus dashboard reports that only 4% of inpatient beds and of intensive care unit beds statewide were available as of Wednesday.
The current hospital crowding is due not only to large numbers of COVID-19 patients, most of whom were unvaccinated, but also many non-virus patients needing treatment for other conditions.
The state's dashboard on Thursday also reported 3,663 additional confirmed COVID-19 cases and 75 more deaths.
