Coronavirus Case Data By ZIP Code Released In Virginia

VIRGINIA — The Virginia Department of Health has made ZIP code data available on cases of the new coronavirus, which causes COVID-19 illness. The ZIP code information includes case numbers and number tested but not deaths or hospitalizations. Residents can look at data by ZIP code, locality and health district.

The health department says there are a few caveats to the ZIP code data. Locality data is being reported to the state for all cases, but ZIP code information is not reported for 432 of the total 22,342 cases. Out-of-state residents tested in Virginia are not counted in ZIP code data but are reflected in the state's overall testing data. For privacy reasons, ZIP codes with case counts between one and four cases are listed as "suppressed."

Here are the ZIP codes with the highest case counts, according to available data:

Gov. Ralph Northam's tentative date to start the first of three reopening phases for certain businesses and activities is Friday, May 15. Once the first phases of reopening begins, businesses could reopen with enhanced safety measures in place. Northam plans to outline detailed guidelines on reopening phases and restrictions at a news conference on Friday, May 8.

Northam anticipated the first phase lasting around three weeks before the state seeks to further ease restrictions on social gatherings. Phases two and three also will last about three weeks. The separate stay-at-home order is in effect through June 10.
