Virginia reports 938 new virus cases on Sunday, 1 more death

The Virginia Department of Health reported 938 new coronavirus cases Sunday, bringing the state’s tally to 119,747.

At least 2,569 Virginians have died from the virus as of Sunday morning, an increase of one from Saturday.

Of the total cases, 114,514 are confirmed and 5,233 are probable, meaning those patients are symptomatic and have had a known exposure to the illness.

Throughout the state, there have been 9,291 cases in long-term care facilities and 1,337 deaths, according to data from the VDH.

The state’s seven-day percentage of positive PCR tests — the common diagnostic test which detects the virus — increased to 7.4%.

Virginia reported 12,707 new PCR tests were performed, increasing the total to 1,568,194.

As many as 1,090 people are hospitalized for COVID-19, according to the Virginia Hospital and Healthcare Association.

Of those, 777 have confirmed cases and 313 are awaiting test results. So far, a total of 14,999 COVID-19 patients have been discharged.

Here are the latest numbers for the region compared with Saturday. The larger number represents the number of cases reported in each locality since the pandemic began.

The VDH has occasionally reported a decrease in the number of deaths for a locality in the daily reports. When asked about it, a spokesman for the state’s health department said some data may be entered incorrectly, or the department will find out later that the patient lived in another city.
