Record-setting COVID-19 cases in DC, Maryland, Virginia over holiday: report
Fox News
As the omicron variant of the coronavirus rapidly spreads across the country, Maryland, Virginia and Washington D.C. all reported record-setting numbers of COVID-19 cases over the three-day Christmas weekend.
"In Virginia, 18,513 people tested positive over the three-day Christmas weekend and 25 died of COVID-19. Maryland reported 5,376 new cases Monday, on top of more than 15,000 during the weekend, and has not yet returned to reporting deaths because of a cyberattack that affected the state’s heath department. The District reported 9,200 cases and two deaths from Dec. 23 to 26," the newspaper wrote.
The Post said that many who had tested positive had been among the large crowds lined up to get tested before the holiday and more than 16% of all reported tests in D.C. had come back positive as of Sunday – a percentage it said was likely higher because the rate does not take into account any at-home tests that residents do not report to the health department.
