The growth rate of COVID-19 in Fairfax County and statewide continues to fall as public health restrictions ease across Virginia.
But local and state officials are still cautioning residents to be wary of a possible second wave in the fall.
The number of positive tests has dipped significantly. In the Fairfax Health District, the positivity rate stands at 5.2 percent. In mid-May, that number inched near 27 percent of all cases.
Additionally, the daily count of cases and hospitalizations also continues to drop.
On Tuesday, the Virginia Department of Health reported 25 new deaths statewide, the largest number since May 28.
Since COVID-19 tracking began, 459 deaths and 13,705 cases have been reported in Fairfax County.
Recently, county officials stepped up testing efforts throughout the county, including targeted testing locations that are not widely publicized. A breakdown of testing sites is available online.
