BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2021 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — The weekly report from the United States Department of Health and Human Services continues to paint a disturbing picture of the COVID-19 situation in Palm Beach County. While Palm Beach County itself is now releasing daily hospital data, it is cumulative and not broken down by hospital.

The HHS report, however, is broken down by hospital, and shows what is really happening at area facilities.

We note the reports below corer 7 days. It is unclear how many days it takes HHS to process the data, so assume that, at most, it is 72 hours old.
