The Northern Virginia region accounted for 290, or 37 percent of Virginia's 791 new cases of the coronavirus as of Monday. Those new cases lifted the region to a total of 25,141 positive cases of the coronavirus, or 55 percent of the state total.

Fairfax County, the state's most populous jurisdiction, now has 11,219 positive cases and 387 deaths. Prince William County has the second highest number of cases, at 5,663, and 104 deaths.

The number of coronavirus cases at long-term care facilities totaled 4,920 as of Monday and the number of people who have died at these facilities had reached 785, or 56 percent of the state's total number of deaths from the coronavirus.

Most of Virginia had been under phase one since May 15. Northern Virginia, Richmond and Accomack County started phase one on Friday. Phase one for all of Virginia will continue through at least Friday to collect more public health data, according to the Northam administration.

Outdoor areas at many restaurants and bars across the region attracted large numbers of people, even though these establishments are required to keep capacity at no more than 50 percent under Gov. Ralph Northam's phase one reopening plan.

The Virginia Hospital & Healthcare Association reported 1,371 people with pending or confirmed coronavirus test results currently hospitalized on Monday, down by almost a hundred people from a week ago. A total of 5,899 COVID-19 patients have been discharged from hospitals.
