Beginning today, the Virginia Department of Health will begin sending a series of text messages to people who receive a positive COVID-19 viral test result in Virginia.
These texts, which are automatically triggered when VDH receives any positive COVID-19 lab result registered with a valid mobile phone number, will provide rapid notification and encourage anyone who has tested positive for COVID-19 to stay home and away from other people. The texts will come from 804-336-3915 and will only be sent between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m.
