Virginia Beach schools return to all-virtual learning after coronavirus cases spike

Virginia Beach public schools are returning to all-virtual learning Tuesday after a sudden spike in coronavirus cases was reported Monday. It means all students will resume virtual learning five days a week. The district had just brought back the remaining five grades — 7th and 8th graders as well grades 10, 11 and 12 — last Thursday. The system’s reopening plan, one of the most aggressive in the region, has been guided by the status of two metrics throughout eastern Virginia: the number of new cases reported each day and percent of tests that come back positive.
