Spotlight on the Medical Reserve Corps
The Medical Reserve Corps is a force of dedicated volunteers who stand ready to support the community in the event of a public health emergency. Medical and public health professionals, along with interested non-medical community members, volunteer their skills, expertise and time to support ongoing public health initiatives and health emergencies throughout Virginia.
The Virginia Department of Health is updating its websites and guidance to incorporate the new community transmission guidelines released by the CDC last week.

The new CDC guidelines take into account hospitalizations along with COVID transmission rates in each locality. Using these metrics, all localities in the Roanoke City and Alleghany Health Districts are still reflecting high transmission, with the exception of Roanoke City, Roanoke County and Salem. This means that increased steps for prevention are merited until local case transmission and hospitalization rates drop. Transmission levels will be updated by the CDC each week.
