Hospitalizations resumed their weeks-long decline, falling by five to 52, as of the county executive’s Wednesday update. Eight of the 52 were in intensive-care units. The number of people sick with COVID in county hospitals peaked at 336 on Dec. 28 and has dropped precipitously since then, interrupted only by occasional small upticks.
