Reston's Plague Year: Week 7 (Updated 5/4)

A little on the nose, Reston litterbugs, but okay.

As of Monday afternoon, there are 756 confirmed cases in the combined 201 zip codes encompassing Reston, Herndon, and much of western Fairfax County -- still the lowest per-capita rate in the county. Apparently more refined data is coming from the state in the coming days, but according to this poll tests are still few and far between:

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, RCC is canceling its Summer Camp schedule and issuing full refunds. If commonwealth and county guidelines allow, we hope to offer a small slate of new camps beginning in July. Watch for new registration information in June. https://t.co/65PksPSrRj pic.twitter.com/WffMLo85Rc

Reston-based CORE Foundation has placed pods in several places around town to collect donations. See other ways to help.

An update from the Reston Gateway project rising near the future RTC Metro station. Mauvescrapers wait for no man — and no pandemic. Sweet music though, and the “waste and vent rough-in” action is ready for its closeup!

Our Reston Gateway field teams have done a great job dealing with the impacts of the pandemic. They have been working safely, following protocol and continue to stay on the front lines to get the job done on time! Thank you for your continued professionalism and courage!#gojcm pic.twitter.com/l6vVFygrpJ

The Reston Association held its Zoomathon last week, announcing winners of the recent RA Board elections: Robert T. Petrine and Sarah Selvaraj-Dsouza (at-large), Caren Anton (Hunters Woods/Dogwood), and Mike Collins (apartment owners).

More people doing good:

Thank you Reston! We had a very successful Food Donation Day with almost a 1000 items donated.
We not only received donations, but we also provided some groceries to a family that stopped by.

Many thanks our volunteers & to you for your generosity. pic.twitter.com/BFiiH61PEF
