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 (7/28) in Virginia we’re at 692,105 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), 31,241 hospitalizations and 11,522 deaths from COVID-19. The number of reported cases was +1,087 (+0.16%) in the latest statistics, compared to +835 (+0.12%) yesterday. As for hospitalizations, they went up 33 (+0.11%) compared to +55 (+0.18%) yesterday. Deaths are reported +7 compared to +9 yesterday. The number of PCR-ONLY test results is currently at 7,946,025 (up 9,207 from yesterday). [NOTE: VDH isn’t updating on the weekends anymore, for whatever reasons…frustrating for keeping an accurate count of the statistics, and also premature given that the pandemic isn’t over!]
