Coronavirus numbers in Tennessee | Active cases drop 35% statewide

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) - The Tennessee Department of Health releases weekly data on COVID-19 cases in the state.

Each week, the health department releases numbers on deaths, cases, recoveries, and hospitalizations. Hospitalizations are updated on a 24-hour delay, however. According to the state website, this is because the data is dynamic and changes as hospitals learn more about their patients.

Those interested in finding more information on vaccines and a location to receive a vaccine or booster shot can do so here.

The Tennessee Department of Health released year-end information on COVID-19 across the state Wednesday. Dr. Lisa Piercey with the department gave an update on the data.

The data included information on how COVID-19 affected the state in 2021 and a preview of the state’s 2022 operation priorities.

“Year-end data reconciliation is an important step to ensure the public has an accurate view of how COVID-19 has affected our state this year and also identify areas where the department can improve services,” said Tennessee Department of Health Commissioner Lisa Piercey, MD, MBA, FAAP. “Data reporting for COVID-19 is unique, as it is the only infectious disease where real-time progression is tracked from positive test to death, compared to typical monthly or annual reports.”

State officials released data on testing, reported cases and vaccines for the year of 2021:

Total Tests: 5,394,058
Total Cases Reported: 762,964
Total Vaccines Administered: 8,280,246

Tennessee officials have run into some challenges with reporting COVID-19 cases, Dr. Piercey said. She mentioned that those that do at-home COVID-19 testing are not entered into the state system, so positive cases are not added immediately.

According to Dr. Piercey, around 80% of COVID cases in Tennessee are the Omicron variant, which she said is more contagious, but less severe, than the Delta variant. She also said that the Omicron strain of COVID-19 can have different symptoms, like no loss of taste or smell. Because of this, she said, those infected might not think they have COVID-19.

Dr. Piercey also stressed the importance of vaccinations. Only one type of monoclonal antibody treatment is effective against the Omicron variant, she said, and it is hard to come by.

Dr. Piercey also gave an insight into what the state plans to do in 2022. Currently, the state reports daily COVID-19 numbers. In 2022, the state will switch to weekly reporting, she said.

Posted by WVLT on Monday, August 16, 2021

According to the Tennessee Department of Health, current COVID-19 hospitalizations increased 22% last week. ICU bed space improved from 7% availability to 10% availability.

“You very likely are to experience delays if you go to a hospital right now,” Dr. Lisa Piercey said. “...If you do not have a true medical emergency, please do not go to the emergency department. Go to a level of care where you can be evaluated then discharged if you do not have a true medical emergency.”

Tennessee reinstated the National Guard program to supplement back-staffing in hospitals on August 16. The state will take many members of the National Guard that have been vaccinated and that have a background in medical care into the hospital setting to augment staff.

In the last month, the week over week vaccination rate in Tennessee almost double. The rate went from about 58k a week to over 100k a week and many of those are first doses, according to Dr. Piercey.

“That is exactly what we need,” Dr. Lisa Piercey stated.

Dr. Piercey stated that more finalized guidance is expected to come in the next few days regarding third dose boosters. The FDA approved Pfizer or Moderna for immunocompromised individuals. Individuals must wait 28 days after the second shot and it is recommended to be the same brand as the first shots.

Patients who are going through active cancer treatment, transplants, immune deficiencies, have HIV, and are on medications that cause the immune system to be weakened, such as, chronic high dose steroids would be available for the third booster shot.

There will be no proof of illness required for third dose booster but the state recommended all people to speak with their physician, Piercey stated.

Patient privacy is still a high concern for Tennessee and multiple layers of verification will be required to access vaccination records.
