I think it’s a bookkeeping issue. They don’t move them. Maybe they don’t bother - because, in reality, every survivor of a serious case may go through a period of recuperation, as they recover their strength - but during that period they no longer have the infection, no longer excrete the virus... so, they are all recovering or recovered. Speaking of bookkeeping - today, Florida’s health department discovered that one of the small labs in Miami Dade county failed to report to them positive cases ever since some time in June. So... they just went ahead and reported all of them today - an extra 4000 cases for the day. The total is a little over 8000. Still not too bad. When cases decline, it’s kind of like a self accelerating process - every day when there are fewer cases, this creates fewer opportunities for new individuals to get infected. And this happens while the pool of susceptible individuals keeps shrinking.
