So, active cases have tripled in the last month, from 1,300 or so to about 4,000. Now, there have been statements that they are no longer so much worried about case counts as the cases are no longer as serious.
But, hospitalizations (which lag the cases as an indicator) are going back up as well: the hospital bed count has jumped up from about 100 to 163 today, and the ICU beds are up from 77 two weeks ago to 98 today. A lower hospitalization/new case ratio, sure, but it's still a substantial impact.
