There were 2,721 confirmed or suspected COVID-19 patients hospitalized Sunday, according to data reported by the Arizona Department of Health Services on Monday.
That topped the previous high of 2,691 from the previous day and continued an upward trend that has seen the number double since June 11.
"COVID-19 hospitalizations aren’t the only data point at or near a pandemic-high mark in Arizona.
The number of COVID-19 patients in ICU beds increased overnight by 13 to 679 on Sunday, a high mark.

However, a department spokesman told KTAR News 92.3 FM that the reporting issue didn’t affect the accuracy of hospitalization and bed capacity numbers, as well as the report of zero deaths.
They had a peak of hospital admissions 2 weeks ago. The Arizona Dept of Health websites shows new admissions to hospitals trending steeply downward. They are at 84% capacity of ICU beds which will go down shortly as the cases from 2 weeks ago either die or are sent home.
The ABC news article tried to give impression that Arizona hospitals are overwhelmed, they are not.
