Individual hospital data released by the state show a total of 2,323 patients were hospitalized in Massachusetts on May 21 with confirmed or suspected cases of COVID-19, a 16 percent drop from a week earlier.

Of that total, the number needing ICU care was 628, also a 16 percent drop from the previous week.

Significant declines have occurred at almost all major hospitals in that time frame: Massachusetts General Hospital’s hospitalizations fell from 281 to 222; Beth Israel Deaconess from 164 to 142; Boston Medical Center from 116 to 105; and Brigham and Women’s from 153 to 101; and Baystate Medical Center in Springfield from 95 to 75.

The only exception was UMass Medical Center in Worcester where hospitalizations rose within that one-week span from 161 to 168.
