All households in Arlington have power restored except 10 people--the outages due to Monday's have been fixed and last night's snow did not lead to additional outages that we know about.
With respect to plowing and street clearing, the additional snow last night was pretreated and our plows are working. Over the next couple of days it is not forecast to get above freezing, so you may want to shovel if able today.
On COVID, we are working to open two additional testing sites at Central Library and in conjunction with Marymount University. Today, the Curative sites at Arlington Mill and Courthouse are open. To learn more about testing, go here: https://www.arlingtonva.us/Government/Programs/Health/COVID-19/COVID-19-Testing The overall testing supply problem persists--it is a national problem that we are working on locally.
