Yes, but if one person went into hospital with covid and wasn't quarantined, and then ended up on a ward with 15 or so others, who then caught it, even if no-one else was admitted in those few days, that figure would go from 1 to 16.
And it may be currently increasing, but it has spent the last few months oscillating within a similar amount. If it moves significantly ahead of this amount it would be potentially concerning. But this hasn't happened yet and it's no certainty that it will.
