Late last week, Virginia reached the grim milestone of more than 20,000 deaths from COVID-19 since the pandemic started.

On Tuesday, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved emergency use authorization to a Virginia-based company, MicroGEM, for a COVID-19 saliva test. The PCR test, which is quick and non-invasive, can deliver results in about 27 minutes without laboratory work or analysis, according to the company.

A total of 1,207 new cases of COVID-19 were reported statewide Wednesday for the 24-hour period, contributing to an overall state total of 1,688,068 cases in Virginia since the pandemic’s outbreak. As of Wednesday, there have been 449,170 hospitalizations and 20,009 deaths statewide. The state’s seven-day positivity rate rose to 7.2 percent on Wednesday. Last week, the positivity rate was 6.6 percent.

On Wednesday, state health officials reported that 73.1 percent of the state’s population has been fully vaccinated, while 81.7 percent have received at least one dose of the vaccine.

State data also showed that more than 2.98 million people in Virginia have received booster shots or third doses of the vaccine.

Among those ages 5 to 11 in Virginia, 311,943 have received their first shots, accounting for 43.1 percent of the age group in the state, while 266,135 children, or 36.7 percent, are fully vaccinated and 550 children have received a booster shot or third dose. As of Wednesday, fewer than 140,540 cases, 853 hospitalizations and nine deaths have been recorded among children in the state.

State data also shows that African-Americans comprised 22.3 percent of cases statewide and 23.2 percent of deaths for which ethnic and racial data is available, while Latinos made up 11.9 percent of cases and 5.1 percent of deaths.
