| IF YOU HAVE SYMPTOMS OF COVID-19, GET TESTED IMMEDIATELY. If your test is positive, ask your medical provider about mAb (monoclonal antibody) treatment. It can help prevent development of serious illness and reduce your risk of hospitalization. Find out more More than 1,038,000 people have now been fully vaccinated against COVID-19 in Mississippi. Vaccination is very effective at preventing COVID-19 illness, hospitalization and death. Vaccination benefits you even if you have already had COVID-19. Most COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations and deaths are now among unvaccinated Mississippians. Adverse reactions to COVID-19 are very low among Mississippians. No deaths related to COVID-19 vaccination have occurred in Mississippi, and few vaccine-related deaths have been confirmed nationwide. COVID-19 vaccines are demonstrating that they are very safe as well as effective. Find a Vaccination All Mississippians aged 12 or older are now eligible for vaccination at hundreds of convenient locations statewide. Vaccinations are free to all Mississippians. Homebound persons can get help with COVID-19 vaccination by sending e-mail to COVIDHomebound@msdh.ms.gov Host a vaccination event for your business or organization by writing to VaccineEvent@msdh.ms.gov Follow daily vaccination progress: Mississippi COVID-19 Vaccination Report More about vaccinations and where to get one | | | Cases reported in the past week Positive test results reported to MSDH between July 27 and August 2, as of 3 p.m. yesterday. | | Deaths reported in the past week COVID-19 related deaths reported to MSDH or determined from death certificate reports between July 27 and August 2, as of 3 p.m. yesterday. | | | Total Mississippi COVID-19 cases | | Total Mississippi COVID-19 deaths | | COVID-19 Variants MSDH regularly tests a selected number of cases for the presence of COVID-19 variants. Variants can be more infectious and more easily transmitted than conventional COVID-19. Our variants report does not include every case from the past week, but indicates the proportion of variant types seen in Mississippi. The delta variant remains the dominant strain in Mississippi this week, accounting for almost all recent cases sampled by MSDH. Weekly variant strains report COVID-19 Variants in Sampled Cases by Date Blue: Alpha variant Yellow: Delta variant  | | - Current active outbreaks: 127
An outbreak is considered any confirmed COVID-19 case among LTC facility residents or employees. | | | Mississippi hospital bed usage: - Patients currently hospitalized for confirmed COVID-19: 1,035
- Patients currently in intensive care for confirmed COVID-19: 284
COVID-19 Hospitalizations by Date Hospitalizations for COVID-19 continue their very sharp increase, predominantly driven by cases among unvaccinated Mississippians. Mississippi has activated its statewide System of Care to organize the allocation of patients to intensive care hospital beds to relieve shortage of bed space now affecting many hospitals. More hospitalization data  | | Cases by Date of Illness This chart tracks COVID-19 cases according to the date the person first became ill, rather than the date of test results. It's the standard way of following the course of a disease in a population. The black average line helps identify upward or downward trending. (In the few cases where date of illness has not yet been determined, testing date is used.) Since we are still receiving reports of illnesses that began up to two weeks ago, expect the more recent dates on this chart to change.  Deaths by Date of Occurrence  | | - Be vaccinated. Vaccination is the most powerful step you can take to resume normal community life and stop unnecessary deaths.
- Be tested for COVID-19 if you have symptoms or believe you may have been exposed. See our guide to local testing providers and free testing at http://HealthyMS.com/covid19test
- If you are unvaccinated, wear a mask whenever you are indoors, away from home.
- If you are over 65, or have a chronic illness, avoid all large indoor gatherings, even if you are vaccinated.
