The Department of Health says Virginia has 10,266 cases of COVID-19. The update was delayed most of the day due to a system error.
The information is usually updated on the health department's website before 10:00 a.m. each day. Wednesday's update was not posted until about 5:00 p.m.
The process which compiles COVID-19 case information overnight experienced an error that caused complete case information to be unavailable this morning. VDH staff are working to resolve the issue, and updated information will be posted as soon as possible.
