6,936,596 PCR (polymerase chain reaction) tests have been conducted in Virginia as of Saturday, with a 5.7% positivity rate from those tests over the last week, down from 5.8% reported Friday.
As of Saturday, there are 10,675 recorded coronavirus-related deaths in the commonwealth since the pandemic’s beginning, up from 10,666 reported Friday.
1,046 people across Virginia were hospitalized as of Saturday with confirmed or test-pending cases of COVID-19, down from 1,057 reported Friday. 54,188 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.
Any new confirmed cases from health departments throughout the state the rest of the day won’t show up until at least the following day on the state list, as the official numbers are only updated once a day, with a 5 p.m. cutoff each day for new cases to be reflected on the next day’s list.
