Tens of thousands of Americans are currently hospitalized with COVID-19, as the world braces for a fourth year dealing with the deadly virus.

According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) data, COVID hospitalizations are on the rise for the third straight week. This comes after figures trended down for more than two months previously. 

COVID hospitalizations have increased by nearly 11%, resulting in almost 20,000 new hospitalizations during the week ending on November 25, the CDC confirms.
