4:50 p.m. April 13 update: In a news release, the Mount Rogers Health District in Southwest Virginia announced that there are now four fatal cases of COVID-19 in its district, including three over the past week. Officials said there is community transmission in Washington, Wythe and Smyth counties.

Also, Canterbury Rehabilitation & Healthcare Center in Henrico County confirmed earlier reports that the number of deaths related to the virus is now at 42. Eighty-four living residents and 35 staff members also have tested positive, the center said in a news release. The center also reported that it has temporarily doubled nursing staff wages and has seen nearly a dozen employees return to work after testing positive; they are caring exclusively for residents who are positive. The center also has hired four people to help residents connect with their families and assist with other tasks.

At 9 a.m. Monday, the Virginia Hospital & Healthcare Association’s COVID-19 dashboard, which reports hospitals’ patient data and bed availability, began reporting the number of COVID-19 patients who have been discharged from hospitals. As of Monday’s update, 1,238 patients in Virginia are currently hospitalized either with positive tests or pending results, and 467 others who had confirmed cases of COVID-19 have been discharged.
