The county’s seven-day positivity percentage among PCR test was 8.8% as of Feb. 14, and its rapid test positivity percentage was 7.4% as of the same day.
Henrico was averaging about 1,640 tests per day, down from a peak of about 2,600 in early January.
More than 57,500 Henricoans – more than one-sixth of the county’s population – have now received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, and nearly 14,700 of them have been fully vaccinated.
