This means nothing without context. You'd need the raw number of hospitalizations for under 50 before and after. You'd also need to know the % of cases that under 50 accounted for before and after. For all we know the number of hospitalizations for under 50 went from 10 pre-June to 16 during June while the % of under 50 cases went from 10% of the total pre-June to 50% of the total during June. I sorta doubt it's that extreme, but you get the point.
