Henrico’s virtual school waitlist grows as uncertainty looms
Thousands of Henrico parents made a decision early this year to send their children back to school in-person this fall. Many of them made that decision under the impression that masks would be required for elementary students, who are not yet eligible to receive a COVID-19 vaccine.
But now, in light of uncertainty surrounding masking rules for the 2021-2022 school year, some of those parents are rethinking or regretting their decision to send their children back into classrooms.
New daily COVID-19 cases in Henrico remain near four-month high
Henrico’s occurrence of new daily COVID-19 cases this weekend reached a level not seen in the county in nearly four months and remained near that level as of Monday, despite a small decline. The county is now averaging 66 new daily cases during the past seven days (down from 67.4 this weekend), according to the Virginia Department of Health. The weekend average was as high as the count had been in Henrico since April 14.
