0.9% isn't much though and could equally be noise or reporting lags.


Don't forget also that "hospitalisations" also include
- those who would for example present to A&E with a broken arm and test positive for covid on arrival even though covid wasn't the reason for them going
- those who were negative for covid on arrival but tested positive whilst in hospital (having caught it from a staff member, another patient, or a visitor).


Yet another point about measuring criteria really.
