According to data published by the Virginia Department of Health (VDH) this morning, the number of new COVID-19 cases confirmed in Virginia Friday shot up to 395, up from 306 the previous day, bringing the total number of confirmed cases to 2,407. To emphasize the change in the number of new cases, I have changed the graph I update daily from displaying total cases to new cases.
Here’s the daily data roundup:
Total COVID-19 cases: 2,407, up 395 from the previous day.
Total hospitalizations: 390, up 68.
Total deaths: 52, up six.
Total tests: 21,547, up 2,547.
Percentage tests positive: 15.5%
And here, straight from the spreadsheet of John Butcher, are the current “doubling” rates for key metrics:
Case count: 3.4 days
Hospitalizations: 3.7 days
Deaths: 3.1 days
