PORTSMOUTH, Va. (WAVY) — 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.
Accomack County, which now has nearly 600 cases and 60-plus more cases than Virginia Beach, voted to request a reopening delay Wednesday night. The City of Richmond also submitted a similar formal request Thursday afternoon.
Northam granted both requests Thursday, extending the localities’ reopening until at least May 28.

ReplyDeleteThe hospital does not receiver $1,300 per covid-19 patient. That's a myth. They receiver $13,000 per covid-19 patient. Big difference. Oh, and they get $39,000 if said patient requires intubation and a ventilator.
