Alexandria now has 2,070 reported cases of COVID-19, an increase of 35 cases since yesterday, according to the Virginia Department of Health. That’s the biggest jump in cases since May 29, when 54 new cases were announced.

Hispanic residents make up 17% of the population and lead with the highest number of cases in the city with six deaths, 1,131 cases and 95 total hospitalizations.
It is not clear how many residents have fully recovered from the virus, and the city is advising residents to continue staying home except for “essential trips such as food purchases and medical care.”
Statewide, there have been 1,460 reported deaths (seven since yesterday), and 1,357 of those deaths are confirmed to have been COVID-related, according to VDH. There are now 49,397 cases (47,123 confirmed) and 5,054 hospitalizations (including 30 probable cases).
