As hospitalizations for COVID-19 have risen in recent weeks, so too have visits to local emergency rooms and urgent care centers for treatment of COVID-19-like illnesses, according to Virginia Department of Health.
In Northern Virginia, at least 521 people were hospitalized for COVID-19 on Thursday, a portion of the 1,854 people hospitalized across the state. It's not clear how many Prince William County residents are currently hospitalized for for COVID-19, as the state releases current hospitalizations only by region.
But the number of visits to Prince William County hospital emergency rooms and urgent care centers is tracked and reported by the VDH and has shown an uptick of about 40% in the last two weeks, data show.
During the week ending on Nov. 28, more than 294 patients visited local emergency rooms for "COVID-19-like illnesses," while 1,014 patients visited local urgent care centers. Visits to urgent care centers for COVID-19 symptoms were up 44% from two weeks ago, while visits to local emergency rooms were up 40%, the data show.
The numbers include patients with a diagnosis of COVID-19 or with symptoms consistent with the disease, including fever, cough, difficulty breathing or shortness of breath, the VDH says.
In the last three days, 19 Prince William County residents were released from the hospital after having received in-patient treatment for COVID-19. They included one child age 9 or under; one resident in their 30s, two in their 40s, eight in their 50s, four in their 60s, two in their 70s and one age 80 or older.
The Prince William Health district reported 534 new COVID-19 cases over the last three days, but no new deaths.
The local health district's rate of infection per 100,000 residents, at 33.7, is lower than in recent days, but the local percent-positivity rate on COVID-19 tests is higher, at 12.6%. Both metrics remain the highest of any jurisdiction in Northern Virginia.
The local death toll remains 271. There have so far been 13 local deaths reported in November. There were 17 local deaths reported in October.
School pandemic metric rating: COVID-19 health metrics for Prince William County Schools improved slightly on Friday. Two of three core metrics remained in the "highest risk" category, but all three secondary metrics improved to the lowest and moderate risk categories.
The CDC school metrics for Prince William County Schools as of Friday, Dec. 4. Key: Red=highest risk; orange=higher risk; yellow=moderate risk; light green=lower risk; dark green= lowest risk.
The number of cases per capita over the last 14 days remains in the "highest risk" category at 507. That's still more than twice the 200 needed to qualify for "highest risk."
The local average percent-positivity rate on COVID-19 tests over the past 14 days also remains in the "highest risk" category at 11.4% on Friday, rising from about 10.9% last weekend.
Among secondary metrics, the percent change in the rate of cases over the past week fell to -12.9%, which is now in the "lowest risk" range and down significantly from an increase of about 40% just a few days ago.
The number of hospital beds occupied in the region rose from 77% to 81.2%, which is in the "moderate risk" range. Anything above 80% is classified as "moderate risk" for hospital beds filled, while anything above 90% is at the "highest risk" category.
The percent of hospital beds filled with COVID-19 patients is also slightly higher at 12.7%, which remains in the "moderate risk" category. Anything above 15% would qualify as "higher risk," which is the most severe classification of risk in that category.

New daily COVID-19 cases reported across Virginia set a new record Monday with 3,242. It was the first time the number topped 3,000 since the pandemic began last March.

Still, the state registered 2,117 new cases on Sunday, which pushed the seven-day average to a record-breaking 2,262.
That record was broken today, however, as the new seven-day average shot up again to 2,343, according to the latest VDH report.
