There have been 85,673,400 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the United States to date – and that number continues to grow.
In the Staunton-Waynesboro metropolitan area, located in Virginia, a total of 32,244 cases of COVID-19 have been reported. Adjusted for population, there have been 26,631 confirmed infections for every 100,000 people in the area — in line with the national rate of 26,186 cases per 100,000 people.
Even though COVID-19 infections per capita are in line with the national average across Staunton-Waynesboro , there are parts of the metro area where this is not the case.
The broader Staunton metro area comprises three counties or county equivalents, which can include independent cities — and of them, the city of Waynesboro has the most COVID-19 cases per capita. So far, there have been a total of 6,231 confirmed infections in the city of Waynesboro, or 28,418 for every 100,000 people.
A relatively high infection rate does not necessarily mean COVID-19 related fatalities per capita are higher in Waynesboro than they are across all of the Staunton area, however. There have been a total of 310 coronavirus deaths for every 100,000 people in the city of Waynesboro, compared to 327 COVID-19 deaths per 100,000 across the entire Staunton-Waynesboro metro area.
