This is an increase of 25 more people warded in hospitals compared with Thursday (Jan 27), although the number of people requiring oxygen support fell by three.

Is "warded in hospital" correct?

Thanks.

@tanguatlay,
That's not how I would put it. I would say 'hospitalized'.

ward

verb
past tense: warded; past participle: warded
1.
ARCHAIC
guard; protect.
"it was his duty to ward the king"
2.
SE ASIAN
admit to or care for in a hospital ward.

So, if you're in SE Asia, apparently you would use it that way.
