RICHMOND, Va. (WDBJ) - The Virginia Department of Health is reporting 262,730 total cases of COVID-19 across the commonwealth as of Tuesday, December 8, dating to the beginning of the pandemic in March. That’s up 3,860 from the 258,870 reported Monday, a bigger increase than Monday’s 3,817 new cases.
3,545,869 PCR (polymerase chain reaction) tests have been conducted, with a 10.9 percent positive rate over the last week, up from 10.8 percent reported Monday.
As of Tuesday, there are 4,260 recorded coronavirus-related deaths in the commonwealth since the pandemic’s beginning. That’s up from 4,208 reported Monday.
1,918 people across Virginia are hospitalized as of Tuesday with confirmed or test-pending cases of COVID-19, up from 1,885 reported Monday.
25,201 COVID patients have been released from hospitals in Virginia since the beginning of the pandemic. That’s according to the Virginia Hospital and Healthcare Association, which gets a daily report from hospitals around the commonwealth.
These hospital numbers are different from those reported by VDH, which only gathers hospitalization status at the time each case is investigated by VDH, and is an under-representation of Virginia hospitalizations.
Heading into the holiday season, Governor Northam announced new measures designed to curtail the spread of COVID-19, and is urging people to stick to small gatherings.
