We described antibiotic use among inpatients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Most COVID-19 inpatients received antibiotic therapy. We also described hospital-wide antibiotic use during 2020 compared with 2019, stratified by hospital COVID-19 burden. Although total antibiotic use decreased between years, certain antibiotic use increased with higher COVID-19 burden. From March to October 2020, most inpatients with COVID-19 received antibiotics, frequently those used to treat lower respiratory infections. Facility-level use of these agents increased with higher COVID-19 burden. Resiliency of stewardship programs is critical to optimize treatment and outcomes.
