To the Fairfax County Community,

There was some confusion this week over the  <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001Rppj41Xz8rQN3DQD-sjDPe6JIPMOkbk85eiXvOraneK77U9wGF1e_7RAFopnDv0-mGKJskop1qWG0kEBAo_IrvC_Os7VHrE1FmXaMH096GyqSIKf9y5CmKVW7nOurugwAwE-KDH-e29WtCVNt6dgJbjBRatATlOnQMK84l1fnVgCb9n_Ph7cXbTO2JqnA1eegRvf7rHcbtzGNmQPrXhd-bZuZZI87lgnJk0YJ1JBMlbSDz1mzE_nyA3HMC-40k7zkuVBVKk9zoDWcsOTHcXjiDgnGqvvP8my&c=741f8eevWH7ypEOVR-zeTSJrhUI_xYkH_h6HORcL0q9ZsG8wg_GTQQ==&ch=vrNP3KOVDnp-Fde975AHIIyzqH2b8wqRmWRUNGH4m94qnGYxFOXwLA==> comments of a World Health Organization head who said transmission of COVID-19 from asymptomatic carriers is "very rare". Since Maria Van Kerkhove's original statement, she has clarified that asymptomatic transmission can in fact occur and White House health advisor  <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001Rppj41Xz8rQN3DQD-sjDPe6JIPMOkbk85eiXvOraneK77U9wGF1e_7RAFopnDv0-DNFr5X76X51GirDbib43dv4nl6YdOYo_gbMb5-pBDkL7TFiAyvrYJM5MEfuRT-o0_AaXFAt6GT4gP8jrXI36qCc9ZC10RCWIiGHtaCxoEt4IhwYT1x_WRxXGS26uG0Rzk6w_EcAlXAFN4xpOrHwtsqbUkdDa-i2HOZbJ6pUswhJnno09-9b-XznptJrW5Y893WnPhZCe1pql8EXU7G2rg8sCOkOOOWTl&c=741f8eevWH7ypEOVR-zeTSJrhUI_xYkH_h6HORcL0q9ZsG8wg_GTQQ==&ch=vrNP3KOVDnp-Fde975AHIIyzqH2b8wqRmWRUNGH4m94qnGYxFOXwLA==> Dr. Anthony Fauci confirmed this as well. 

I went to the Fairfax County Health Department for further explanation and they shared that Fairfax follows Virginia Department of Health and CDC guidance on protective measures for control of COVID-19, not the WHO. VDH and CDC guidance on this subject has not changed. Research shows that the viral load of asymptomatic cases has been equal to that of symptomatic cases, which suggests similar potential for virus transmission. 

In other words, we must remain cautious for asymptomatic cases. Cloth masks and social distancing are still vital to protecting against asymptomatic transmission. It is also critical to avoiding pre-symptomatic transmission, where the risk of transmission is highest right before the onset of symptoms.

Fairfax Health District Data

*     Below is the latest Fairfax Health District data based on the Governor's reopening criteria:

*     Percentage positive tests over 14 days: At least five weeks of a downward trend has been observed.

*     Hospitalizations over 14 days: Since peaking at 53 reported hospitalizations on May 3, a general downward trend has been observed.

*     Increased testing: Total PCR tests have been steadily increasing since early March from 350 a week to almost 10,000 during the week of May 24.

*     Contact tracing: The first cohort of 20 contact tracing supervisors started their training with the Institute of Public Health Innovation (IPHI) on June 8. After a week of training with IPHI and a subsequent training week with the Health Department, the staff will begin full case investigations. Hiring will continue until we are fully staffed.

*     Hospital beds and intensive care capacity: Overall available hospital beds were at 25%; an increase of 3% since May 20. Since a low of approximately 15% on May 17, available adult critical care beds have increased to 31% on June 9.

*     PPE: PPE for hospitals continues to be adequate. PPE for outpatient/private practice/long-term care facilities continues to be a challenge. The Health Department has provided the Medical and Dental Societies with N95 respirators for distribution to Fairfax community providers and we continue to work closely with LTCFs to supply their PPE requests, as needed.

We recognize that we are in very trying times, but I hope you see in these newsletters that positive change has occurred over the last several months.

As I often say, we are truly lucky to live in Fairfax County where we have the resources to overcome challenges and a community who rises to the occasion.
