Two states are shifting course in the way they collect data on COVID-19 hospitalizations. New York and Massachusetts have asked hospitals to break down data on those that are being treated for COVID-19 along with those who were admitted for other health issues and tested positive. Both states have requested hospitals to begin offering the data in recent days. The move comes as hospitals across the nation are battling heavy spikes in COVID-19 admissions, with states such as Pennsylvania, Maryland and Ohio reporting new peaks in recent days. Officials in both states have said they aim to offer residents a clearer picture of the toll of the virus. The Massachusetts Department of Health said last week it would ask healthcare systems to break down the numbers starting Monday, NBC10 in Boston reported.
