More than 1,000 new cases of the COVID-19 Coronavirus in Virginia appeared in the daily report of the Virginia Department of Health and 29 deaths added to the count to bring the Commonwealth’s toll to 581 with 16,901 cases and 2,416 hospitalizations.

Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam allowed the ban on elective surgeries to expire at midnight Thursday and hospitals began those surgeries — in-patient and out-patient — Friday.

Sen. Mark Warner has asked the governor to relax some of the stay-at-home, lockdowns and business closures in areas with local counts of infections and deaths but the governor, to date, has felt statewide rules and bans are more effective.
