    Healthy Communities Keep Virginia Safe Tournament

    Question

    A key uncertainty is when the next peak in the number of confirmed and probable COVID-19 cases will occur in Virginia over the next few months.

    When will Virginia’s pre-May 2022 peak weekly total of new confirmed and probable cases occur?

    This question will resolve as the date of the peak weekly total of confirmed+probable COVID-19 cases on the VDH “Number of Cases by Date of Symptom Onset” graph on the COVID-19 cases/hospitalizations/deaths dashboard. .

    The week ending 4 December 2021 is the first week covered by this question and the week ending 30 April 2022 is the last week covered. This question will specifically resolve as the last day of the week in question (e.g. if the weekly peak is for the week ending 30 April, then this will resolve as 30 April 2022).

    Also see this related question on what this peak will be.
