So, at this point (3/10), in Virginia we’re at 589,375 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), 24,925 hospitalizations and 9,849 deaths from COVID-19. The number of reported cases went to 1,246 (+0.2%) in the latest statistics, which is a slightly slower rate of increase than the day before, when reported cases were up 1,537 (+0.3%).

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.”
