About Coronavirus 2020
Washingtonian is keeping you up to date on the coronavirus around DC.
The Washington region reported 1,002 new Covid-19 infections going into Tuesday, an uptick from the previous day’s tally but a decline from the record daily highs reached over the weekend.
The moderation was driven by a sharp one-day decline in the number of new cases District. The city reported only 51 new cases going into Tuesday, its lowest single-day figure since March.
All told, the DMV region’s total number of confirmed cases increased to 23,213 going into Tuesday, according to data pulled from daily updates to the Johns Hopkins University Coronavirus Resource Center. (Washingtonian’s full data set can be found here.)
