According to the health department, decreases in cases can be attributed to a person getting tested in a different locality than where they live or the automation process for electronically reported lab results may attach the wrong jurisdiction for a particular zip code.
As of Wednesday, the Virginia Dept. of Health reports there have been 8,000,482 total testing encounters.
