Virginia reported 1,067 new COVID-19 cases, the most reported in a single day so far, and highest since May 1’s 1,055 reported cases. It also reported 28 new deaths linked to the disease caused by the novel coronavirus.
The number comes just one day before most of Virginia is scheduled to enter “phase 1” of its economic reopening plan. Hard-hit Northern Virginia is delaying its reopening by at least two weeks and Accomack County, which now has nearly 600 cases and 60-plus more cases than Virginia Beach, has voted to request a delay Wednesday night.
More than 2/3 of the new cases came in Northern Virginia, keeping with recent trends that show most of the state’s new cases are coming from the region.
Accomack (population roughly 32,000) reported its second highest daily increase so far on Thursday with 48. The county has been waiting on results on the county’s two chicken plants, the main source of its infections, and about 1,500 community tests conducted this past weekend. Thursday’s numbers likely include some of those results, but not all. During Wednesday’s Board of Supervisors meeting, Accomack’s leaders said they were still waiting on the Perdue and Tyson numbers to be released.

Virginia's governor is loving this report , however , I don't believe any of this BS , I've been saying this for 2 months now .
When testing is increased like it had been in VA of course there is going to be an increase of positive results. The number of cases isn't what's important it's the percentage of positives.
The more tests done. The more the numbers will go up. We all know this. These libutard States are really going to be hurting when they realize they aren't getting ANY MORE MONEY.

I'm not sure "we" all know this. democrats voters are extremely foolish people. They can't think. Thinking has been trained out of them by their master and they are ripe for the propagandists. All they see and hear is numbers are rising and like the cultists they are they submit.
Duh!? The more testing , the more cases. Sounds reasonable. Mortality and recovery are key. Once again, having personally gathered data and information from five states and having travelled to four of them in recent days, I have yet to encounter anyone with direct knowledge of a relative, colleague, or friend that has died from the “virus”! That includes all of my colleagues, friends and family. In the end, I am somewhat convinced at this point in time, that we are being being “scammed”.
"Duh?"
I'm with you.
When you live 15 to 20 heads in one house this is what happens. People are stacked like firewood. How is that cheap labor working out ?
9:06 Same in Sussex especially in the Georgetown area.
9:06-Accomack county taxes even your pet dog. They will definately notice 15-20 occupants in one house, quite easily. "People stacked like firewood." Really, man? Those migrant homes have all been shut down. Last one I saw open was almost 10 years ago. So, what are you talking about?
Easy for any fool (even a Democrat) to see that the large Hispanic populations of both County’s - Accomack & Sussex - are a reason why numbers are so high there. How can Worcester be relatively low compared to the other two and Worcester lies directly between them! I’ll answer: small Hispanic population!
And yes, 9:43 migrant camps have been shut down for the most part in Accomack, but they do live together in high numbers in single family homes.
But let’s keep those borders open!
Regular Campgrounds have been open.
