See below for graphics of the newly posted COVID-19 numbers by the Virginia Department of Health and the Virginia Hospital & Healthcare Association. So, at this point (3/11), in Virginia we’re at 590,625 total reported – confirmed plus probable – cases (note that actual cases, as well as deaths, could be higher, maybe even a LOT higher, based on stories like this one in the NY Times), 25,061 hospitalizations and 9,902 deaths from COVID-19. The number of reported cases went to 1,250 (+0.2%) in the latest statistics, which is a slightly slower rate of increase than the day before, when reported cases were up 1,246 (+0.2%). As for hospitalizations, they went up 136 (+0.6%), which is a slower rate of increase than the day before, when hospitalizations were up 84 (+0.3%). Deaths are reported +53, compared to +59 the previous day. The number of PCR-ONLY test results is currently at 6,105,028 (up 21,933 from yesterday).
P.S. VDH notes, “VDH is now processing 2021 death certificates related to the post-holiday surge of COVID-19 cases. As a result, a larger number of deaths is expected to be added by report date.”
