PORTSMOUTH, Va. (WAVY) — Virginia is still reporting about the same levels of COVID-19 metrics as it has over the past month, with about 1,500 cases reported per day and more than 1,000 patients currently hospitalized.
Most of the new cases are in younger people, who are now in the process of getting vaccinated. We learned Friday afternoon however that Virginia will get about 100,000 less Johnson & Johnson doses than it did this week, but that’s an issue that won’t be long-term.
