As Utah continues to report new coronavirus cases at unprecedented levels, a second Utah hospital has filled its intensive care unit, forcing it to open — and staff — overflow beds.

George filled its intensive care unit beds on Sunday, when southwest Utah reported its highest-yet number of hospitalizations during one week.

“We continue to see high volumes of patients in intensive care units at our hospitals across the state,” said Jess Gomez, spokesman for Intermountain Healthcare, which operates the hospital.

With 1,168 new coronavirus cases reported Monday, Utah for the past week has averaged 1,233 new positive test results a day — a new record high, the Utah Department of Health reported Monday.

In the past two weeks, 669 Utahns have been hospitalized for COVID-19, with 288 Utah patients concurrently admitted, UDOH reported.

On average, 276 patients have been receiving treatment in Utah hospitals each day for the past week — the highest weeklong average yet.

Wasatch County and health districts covering Central Utah and Bear River reported their highest weeklong total hospitalizations Monday — with Bear River exceeding even hospitalizations after a large June outbreak tied to a meatpacking plant there.

The counties reporting the highest rates of new cases were Piute, Garfield, Juab, Utah, Salt Lake, Cache, Davis and Wasatch; all but Piute and Wasatch have been under the state’s highest restriction levels for the past week
