Following the Trump administration's decision to reroute coronavirus hospital data first to the administration, instead of sending it to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, some data is no longer available on the CDC.gov website.
The information removed from the website is the hospital data that was reported to the CDC's National Healthcare Safety Network, according to CDC spokesperson Kristen Nordlund, reports the CNN.
The data included the current inpatient and intensive care unit bed occupancy, health care worker staffing and personal protective equipment supply status and availability.
