Virginia COVID-19 Testing Sites

Virginia COVID-19 Treatment Locator

• COVID-19 cases have been relatively stable across the United States for several weeks: currently the nation is averaging about 102,800 cases/day.
• Virginia cases have also declined over the last week; the current 7 day average is 2,482 cases/day.
• Three Rivers case numbers are relatively stable, now averaging just under 30 cases/day in the district. We continue to see COVID-19 outbreaks in vulnerable settings.
• By CDC criteria, and according to the latest available data, Gloucester and Mathews Counties remain at LOW COVID 19 levels; all other jurisdictions remain MEDIUM. The CDC County COVID-19 Level map and County Check tool may be found here:  https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/science/community-levels.html
• The 7 day average number of people hospitalized in Virginia with COVID 19 has become relatively stable, reflecting several weeks of stabilized case levels; it is currently about 532. Hospitalizations are a lagging indicator; changes are seen 1-2 weeks after increases or decreases in cases.
• About 74% of the total population in Virginia is fully vaccinated at this time.

• The BA.2.12.1 remains dominant across the United States and in our region, but we continue to see Omicron subvariants BA.4 and BA.5 in greater percentages. Latest available data indicate the BA.2.12.1 variant comprises 67% of cases in the region where Virginia is located; the BA.4 and BA.5 variants account for about 25% at this time.  The BA.4 and BA.5 subvariants are able to evade existing immunity more effectively.  While the BA.4 and BA.5 subvariants are more contagious than previous COVID-19 variants, it does not appear at this point that they lead to increased severity of disease on a case by case basis.
• On June 24, the CDC gave its approval to a recommendation of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine for children and adolescents aged 6 years through 17 years. Virginia parents and guardians of older children and adolescents now have a second choice of a COVID-19 vaccine.
• Virginians from the age of six months and older are now eligible to get a free COVID-19 vaccine, using either the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna pediatric vaccines for the youngest of children. The Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine is a three-dose series with the first two doses administered 3 weeks apart and a third dose at least two months after the second dose. The Moderna vaccine is a two-dose series administered 4 weeks apart.  Providers can choose which vaccine to offer to their patients. Some providers may choose to offer both vaccines, while others may decide only to offer one. Parents should follow up with their pediatrician or other healthcare provider for specific information about the vaccines they’ll be offering.  Families will have many options for where to get their children a Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna COVID-19 vaccine. Vaccination sites may include:
  • Pediatric offices
  • Family practice offices
  • Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs)
  • Retail pharmacies for children ages 3 years and older
  • Local Health Departments
• Vaccination remains our most powerful tool to limit COVID-19 infection and severe disease. Please visit http://vaccinate.virginia.gov or call 1-877-VAX-IN-VA to find COVID-19 vaccination opportunities near you.  Appointment opportunities in Three Rivers Health District vaccination clinics are available at the Three Rivers Health District Website under “Three Rivers Health District Vaccination Events”:  https://www.vdh.virginia.gov/three-rivers/.  Appointments are also available by calling (804) 815-4191.

• VDH revised its quarantine guidance for COVID-19. Specifically, for non-high risk situations, if a person is exposed to COVID-19, but has (1) tested positive for and recovered from COVID-19 within the last 6 months, or (2) is up to date on vaccines, or both, that person will no longer be recommended to quarantine, but rather should monitor for symptoms and follow isolation protocols should they appear. Note that this varies slightly from CDC guidance, which defines the post-infection immunity period as 90 days. This change will apply to the general public, including but not limited to settings such as K-12 schools and early childhood education settings. VDH retained the 90-day standard for higher-risk situations, including healthcare workers, staff and residents of long-term care facilities, correctional facilities, and homeless shelters.  This change only pertains to quarantine recommendations for individuals and will not impact case surveillance/case classification process for purposes of reporting probable or confirmed cases to CDC.  The recommendations for isolation with active disease or asymptomatic positive testing remain unchanged.
• On June 24, the CDC gave its approval to a recommendation of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine for children and adolescents aged 6 years through 17 years. Virginia parents and guardians of older children and adolescents now have a second choice of a COVID-19 vaccine.
• The CDC order requiring persons to show a negative COVID-19 test result or documentation of recovery from COVID-19 before boarding a flight to the United States was rescinded, effective on June 12, 2022 at 12:01AM ET. This means that air passengers do not need to get tested and show the COVID-19 test result or documentation of recovery from COVID-19 prior to boarding a flight to the United States.
• Both vaccination and COVID-19 infection provide strong protection from serious COVID-19 disease; protection becomes less effective at about the 4-6 month interval due to waning immunity and variant evasion. Booster doses successfully restore immunity levels that are “highly effective at preventing COVID-19–associated emergency department and urgent care encounters”. The relevant CDC Mortality and Morbidity Weekly Report can be viewed here:  https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/71/wr/mm7104e3.htm?s_cid=mm7104e3_w
• Governor Youngkin is a strong advocate of COVID-19 vaccination. His COVID-19 Action Plan includes encouraging vaccinations and prioritizing testing guidelines to mitigate supply chain shortages. The plan may be viewed here: https://www.governor.virginia.gov/media/governorvirginiagov/governor-of-virginia/pdf/COVID-19-Action-Plan.pdf
• CDC recommends COVID-19 primary series vaccines for everyone ages 6 months and older, and COVID-19 boosters for everyone ages 5 years and older, if eligible.
  • People who are moderately or severely immunocompromised have specific recommendations for COVID-19 vaccines, including boosters. Learn more about COVID-19 vaccine recommendations for people who are moderately or severely immunocompromised:  https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/recommendations/immuno.html
  • Use CDC’s COVID-19 booster tool to learn if and when you can get boosters to stay up to date with your COVID-19 vaccines: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/booster-shot.html#when-you-can-get-booster
  • COVID-19 vaccine and booster recommendations may be updated as CDC continues to use the latest data related to safety and how well vaccines work, including over time and against new variants: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/stay-up-to-date.html#recommendations
• The VDH Treatment Locator Tool provides locations that may have COVID-19 treatments; please note not all sites will have appointment availability or treatments available. Provider prescription is required for monoclonal antibodies, pre-exposure prophylaxis (prevention), and oral antiviral pills. Many administration sites listed on the locator require a physician referral and an appointment. The locator tool can be found here:  https://www.vdh.virginia.gov/mabs/covid-19-treatment-locator/
• The CDC published a study, “Effectiveness of Face Mask or Respirator Use in Indoor Public Settings for Prevention of SARS-CoV-2 Infection – California, February – December 2021” on Friday, February 4. The study found that “Consistent use of a face mask or respirator in indoor public settings was associated with lower odds of a positive SARS-CoV-2 test result. Use of respirators with higher filtration capacity was associated with the most protection, compared with no mask use”. People who wish to protect themselves and their families at the highest available level from COVID-19 while in public can do so by wearing a KN-95 or N-95 mask.  The revised CDC mask guidance may be found here:  https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prevent-getting-sick/types-of-masks.html
• In addition to vaccination, the layering of other public health recommendations for slowing the spread of COVID-19 (e.g., masking, distancing, hand washing, avoiding crowds and poorly ventilated spaces, getting testing and isolating at home as appropriate) remain important. Everyone should continue to keep up good prevention practices to protect themselves and others.
• Vaccines will remain readily available to all unvaccinated individuals and individuals eligible for boosters as our highest priority. We recommend COVID 19 vaccination for everyone eligible.
• Vaccination remains our most powerful tool to limit COVID-19 infection and severe disease.
