Get the Facts

Cases of COVID-19 continue to rise in Virginia. We need everyone’s help to stop the spread.
On March 30, Virginia Governor Ralph Northam issued a stay at home Executive Order Fifty-Three. This order will remain in effect until June 10, 2020.
Governor Northam announced that Virginia will move into Phase One of the Forward Virginia plan on Friday, May 15 (with the exception of some localities).
VDH urges all Virginians to continue to limit exposure by staying 6 feet from others and wearing a cloth mask while in public settings.
Wash your hands often, stay home if you are sick, and disinfect high-touch surfaces. These are all very important ways to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.
Virginians over 65 and people of any age with underlying medical conditions should limit their risk of exposure by continuing to stay at home as much as possible.
All Virginians should limit group gatherings of more than 10. Stay out of crowded places and avoid mass gatherings.

Includes the counties of Lee, Wise, and Scott and the City of Norton.

Our mission is to provide leadership and service to enable our citizens and communities to improve their health and well-being.

Our vision is to become the healthiest district in the state.

Hepatitis A Information

Hepatitis A is a vaccine-preventable, communicable disease of the liver caused by the hepatitis A virus (HAV). It is usually transmitted person-to-person through the fecal-oral route or consumption of contaminated food or water. Hepatitis A is a self-limited disease that does not result in chronic infection. Most adults with hepatitis A have symptoms, including fatigue, low appetite, stomach pain, nausea, and jaundice, that usually resolve within 2 months of infection; most children less than 6 years of age do not have symptoms or have an unrecognized infection. Antibodies produced in response to hepatitis A infection last for life and protect against reinfection. The best way to prevent hepatitis A infection is to get vaccinated.
