May 8 was the last time Virginia reported more than 700 cases in a single day, that day, 779 new cases were reported.
It’s unclear if this increase is related to any type of delayed reporting issues.
Across Virginia, 59.1% of the population is vaccinated with at least one dose, while 53.2% of all Virginians are fully vaccinated, according to VDH.
