Loudoun County, Virginia, like other places throughout the U.S., is reporting an increase in the number of new cases of COVID-19 that health officials say is fueled by the delta variant.
“The number of cases is clearly headed in the wrong direction,” Loudoun County Health Director Dr. David Goodfriend, said in a news release. He is urging everyone eligible for a COVID-19 vaccine to get vaccinated, saying it’s the only way to “bring the pandemic to an end.”
The county said it’s seeing an average 30 cases per day, up from about four per day back in June, and the positivity rate has increased from less than 1% to over 3% in the last few weeks.

LEESBURG, VA Officials from the Loudoun County Health Department inspected multiple food storage and preparation businesses across the Leesburg area from March 30 to April 6, including one location with eight violations.
Due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, many inspections are being conducted virtually. So, the listed violations may not be an all-encompassing rundown of all the violations at a particular establishment.
Violations at restaurants typically focus on factors that can contribute to food contamination. The local health department also performs a re-inspection to ensure that possible violations have been corrected.
