(WAVY) — As more and more Virginians get vaccinated for COVID-19, Virginia still is reporting relatively high daily numbers of new coronavirus cases.reported 1,559 new cases on Thursday and is reporting 1,388 per day on average, which is higher than most of the pandemic outside of the fall and winter.Though health officials are concerned about the stagnant virus levels, including virus variants that have been detected throughout the commonwealth, there are still a lot of positive signs. The percent of positive tests coming back is well below earlier levels at 5.5% statewide and hospitalizations are almost down to levels seen in the summer (after going up to over 3,000 patients in the winter). Deaths are also around their lowest point of the pandemic and trending down.Virginia is also set to get a big influx of the single-dose Johnson &amp; Johnson vaccine next week to help with mass vaccination events, though lower than the previously anticipated 100,000 per week. With more younger people getting the vaccine, the number of cases should continue to drop.
