Vermont reported 129 new Covid-19 cases Wednesday, slightly higher than the previous few days but down significantly from the peak of the surge in mid-September.
The seven-day case average is now at 170 cases per day, compared with 191 one week ago and 213 the week before that.
Hospitalizations for the virus also appear to be falling, although they remain above the average during the summer. Thirty-four people are in the hospital with the virus, down from a peak of 48 on Oct. 1. Eleven people are in intensive care units.
The state disclosed four new deaths in its data, all in October. State officials said Tuesday that they were predicting fewer deaths in October than in September, which had 42 deaths, because of the lowering case numbers.
In total, 327 people have died since the beginning of the pandemic.
