2,127,394 PCR (polymerase chain reaction) tests have been conducted, with a 4.8 percent positive rate over the last week, up from the 4.7 percent reported Saturday.

877 people across Virginia are hospitalized as of Sunday with confirmed or test-pending cases of COVID-19. That’s down from the 906 reported Saturday. 17,848 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.
