You’re not hearing much about COVID lately, and for good reason – the Omicron wave is over.
The latest update from the Virginia Department of Health has daily case numbers trending down toward three digits. The seven-day average on Tuesday was 1,033, and that’s with the daily reports on Saturday and Sunday at 647 and 520.
For comparison, the one-day high-water mark during Omicron was 26,125 back on Jan. 8, two months ago.
COVID-related hospitalizations are also well down from their Omicron highs. The Virginia Hospital & Healthcare Association reported 593 people in Virginia hospitals with COVID or awaiting a test result, down from the high of 3,948 back on Jan. 18.
