Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles centers continue to operate by appointment only as the coronavirus pandemic rages on, with the agencyโ€™s case backlog reaching three months in most cases.

After Gov. Ralph Northam announced in March that the agencyโ€™s 75 locations would close, DMV which served about 17,700 people a day prior to the pandemic, began reopening sites throughout the summer, serving about 11,000 people per day, Richmond Times-Dispatch reported.

Meanwhile, vehicle registration, driverโ€™s license renewal and title replacements can still be done virtually, the Times-Dispatch reported.

As of Monday, Virginia has recorded roughly 183,000 coronavirus cases and 3,700 related deaths, according to a state health department tracker.
