(Xinhua)-The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on Wednesday published ensemble forecasts indicating that over the next four weeks, the country’s COVID-19 hospitalizations and deaths are likely to increase.

The ensemble forecasts illustrated that 2,300 to 9,100 new deaths, 6,700 to 24,000 new confirmed COVID hospital admissions and 350,000 to 1,800,000 new cases would be likely reported in the week ending Aug. 28.

“Over the last several weeks, more reported cases have fallen outside of the forecasted prediction intervals than expected,” the CDC said. “This suggests that current forecast prediction intervals may not capture the full range of uncertainty. Because of this, case forecasts for the coming weeks should be interpreted with caution.

As of Wednesday afternoon, there had been 35.4 million COVID-19 cases and 614,769 deaths in the United States, according to a tally by Johns Hopkins University. Enditem
