Poll: Are you planning any New Years’ activities?

By Vernon Miles

With the Omicron variant situation sending Alexandria’s COVID numbers skyrocketing, several New Year’s events like First Night are being canceled.

A majority of poll respondents last week said their holiday travel plans weren’t being affected by COVID-19 and they still planned to travel.

Alexandria hit a new high of 376 recorded COVID-19 cases on Christmas day, though in part this could be from the city also seeing a record-high in COVID testing.

With the new year just a few days away, what are you plans for the weekend?
