RICHMOND, Va. (WDBJ) - The Virginia Department of Health is reporting 221,038 total cases of COVID-19 across the commonwealth as of Monday, November 23, going back to the beginning of the pandemic in March. That’s up 3,242 from the 217,796 reported Sunday, a bigger increase than Sunday’s 2,117 new cases.
As of Monday, there are 3,942 recorded coronavirus-related deaths in the commonwealth since the pandemic’s beginning. That’s up from 3,938 reported over the weekend.
Heading into Thanksgiving, Governor Northam has announced new measures designed to curtail the spread of COVID-19, and is urging people to stick to small gatherings. He encourages a virtual Thanksgiving, using forums such as Zoom.
3,161,059 PCR (polymerase chain reaction) tests have been conducted, with a 7.2 percent positive rate over the last week, up from the 7.1 percent reported Sunday.
1,512 people across Virginia are hospitalized as of Monday with confirmed or test-pending cases of COVID-19, up from 1,469 reported Sunday.
23,253 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.
