The 62,787 cases consist of 60,124 confirmed cases and 2,663 probable cases. There are 1,763 COVID-19 deaths in Virginia — 1,658 confirmed and 105 probable.
The VDH defines probable COVID-19 cases as people who are symptomatic with a known exposure to COVID-19, but whose cases have not been confirmed with a positive test.

As the overall number of positive COVID-19 test results in Virginia grows, data from the VDH coronavirus dashboard shows the percentage of positive results from testing is growing slightly. The seven-day average for percentage of positive test results was at 6.0% as of June 30; the most recent figure provided by the VDH. That’s down from a peak of 22.2% on April 19.
Even as statewide results show a relatively downward trend in positive test results, the TJHD is seeing an increase of positive test results. The current seven-day positivity rate sits at 7.5% for the region, up from the 5.2% reported last Monday.
18,487 PCR testing encounters have been performed across the TJHD. When antibody testing encounters are added, the region has performed 20,853 testing encounters, with a current seven-day positivity rate of 6.9%.
Across Virginia, 457 outbreaks have been reported. 11,225 cases are associated with those outbreaks.
Locally, there are 13 outbreaks: six in congregate settings, four in long-term care facilities, two in correctional facilities and one in an educational setting.
177 cases have been associated with those 13 outbreaks.
In the TJHD, 60 cases have been reported in healthcare workers. Across the state, 3,915 cases have been reported in healthcare workers.
State health officials have said there’s a lag in the reporting of statewide numbers on the VDH website. Figures on the website might not include cases or deaths reported by localities or local health districts.
