The County is seeing very low transmission rates for the first time since the start of the pandemic!
- The 7-day average of new cases reported is 1
- The 7-day positivity rate is just 0.6%, and it has been below 1.0% for nearly a month
This is obviously great news! People are following mitigation efforts and getting vaccinated -- more than 140,000 people in Arlington have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine!
While we are doing well, we need more people vaccinated to fully eradicate the threat of COVID-19. Visit vaccines.gov or the County website to learn how to get your vaccine!

CDC recommends that unvaccinated people age 2 and older wear masks in public. For people who are unvaccinated, masks should be worn in addition to staying at least 6 feet apart, especially if indoors around people who don’t live with you. Masks are required on planes, buses, trains, and other forms of public transportation traveling into, within, or out of the United States and in U.S. transportation hubs such as airports and stations.
