Charleston Area Medical Center’s hospitalizations for COVID-19 have climbed to 118.

The number of patients was for Monday, Sept. 20, and was shared on CAMC Health System’s Facebook page.

Hospital officials said 81% of hospitalized patients with coronavirus are unvaccinated.

In the intensive care unit, 40 patients with COVID-19 are being treated, and 32 of those patients – or 80% - are unvaccinated.

The hospital system reported 20 patients with the virus are on a ventilator and 19 of those – or 95% - are unvaccinated.

CAMC’s latest numbers come as Gov. Jim Justice announced Monday that hospitals and nursing homes in the state are nearing or at a crisis stage with the number of virus-related patients.

The governor said state officials are setting up a reimbursement program to help hospitals and nursing homes financially if they need to shift staff and resources to handle the surge in patients.

Hospitalizations across the state were listed at 955 on Monday, with 292 in ICU and 164 on a ventilator, the state Department of Health and Human Resources.
