------------------------------------------------------------

By GREGORY S. SCHNEIDER, FENIT NIRAPPIL AND RACHEL CHASON, Washington Post (Metered Paywall - 3 articles a month)

Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam on Friday shared details of his plan to slowly loosen shutdown restrictions at the end of next week, while leaders in the District and suburban Maryland said they were not ready to consider reopening as infections of the novel coronavirus continued to mount. The contrast was striking, with D.C. Mayor Muriel E. Bowser (D) citing a spike in both deaths and new coronavirus cases in the city since the day before.

By KIMBERLY PIERCEALL, Virginian-Pilot (Metered Paywall - 2 articles a month)

Virginians will be able to get a haircut, dine on a restaurant’s patio and get a workout outside, but not lounge on the beach or see a movie in a theater. Gov. Ralph Northam revealed details Friday afternoon as to what businesses and customers might expect come May 15, when restrictions in place for nearly two months begin to be lifted. And the newer, ever-so-slightly more relaxed environment in Virginia will happen only if all goes well in the state’s health statistics before next Friday or else the date may be extended, Northam said.

Tucked in the Southside Virginia countryside along the North Carolina border, Greensville County is an unlikely place for the highest COVID-19 fatality rate in the state. Its 12,000 residents include 3,200 inmates in state correctional facilities, but the county isn't dealing with a coronavirus outbreak in the prison or any long-term care facilities, as other rural localities are experiencing. Yet, seven Greensville residents have died from COVID-19, a mortality rate of 60 deaths per 100,000 people - the highest in Virginia.

If you go to the Virginia Department of Health website every day — as many people now do — you can find a map of Virginia with data on COVID-19 cases organized lots of different ways. You can look at the total number of cases by “event date” —meaning the date that people first got sick. If you want to see whether Virginia is truly “flattening the curve,” this is the best place to look. It shows that we may, indeed, have plateaued, although not yet bent the curve downward.
