Most fatalities related to the virus have been people over the age of 50, although the highest numbers of those infected are in their 30s and 40s. There has been one death of a person in their 20s.
Here’s the age breakdown of deaths and new cases in the city:

The Alexandria Health Department is currently asking VDH for a more specific racial breakdown.

There have been 435 females (with 12 deaths and 49 hospitalizations) and 411 males (with 14 deaths and 59 hospitalizations) who tested positive for COVID-19 in the city, and it is not clear how many people have recovered. VDH also reported that there are 108 COVID-19-related hospitalizations in Alexandria.
Statewide, there have been 616 reported deaths, which is an increase of 35 deaths since yesterday, according to VDH.
