But even though these new measures are targeted at mitigating the spread of #COVID19 in Hampton Roads, everyone must remain vigilant. Let's ALL do the right thing and follow the guidelines: Wear a mask. Keep your distance. Wash your hands regularly. Stay home. Avoid crowds. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73

These new restrictions take effect July 31 at midnight and will apply to the Cities of Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Norfolk, Suffolk, Portsmouth, Hampton, Williamsburg, Newport News, Poquoson, James City County, and York County. This is about stopping the spread in Hampton Roads. — PolitiTweet.org

1️⃣ Starting Friday, no alcohol will be sold or consumed on site after 10 PM, and restaurants must close by midnight—this effectively closes all bars. 2️⃣ Indoor dining will be reduced to 50 percent capacity. 3️⃣ Social gatherings will be limited to 50 people. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73

Case numbers are rising in Hampton Roads, as are hospitalizations, ICU admissions, and emergency room visits related to #COVID19. And we are seeing a significant shift toward people 20 and younger testing positive. So, we are taking action to turn this around. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73

While Virginia has so far avoided the dramatic increase in cases that many other states are seeing, there continues to be a concerning rise in Hampton Roads and the Peninsula, where the test positivity rate is 10.8 percent—the rate for the rest of the Virginia averages 6 percent. https://t.co/7wMfKOKNJv — PolitiTweet.org

Today, I shared some important updates on our continued response to #COVID19 in Virginia. Case counts are largely stable in 4 of our 5 health regions—including in Northern Virginia, where 3 million people live. Cases have dropped there by two-thirds, since the peak in late May. https://t.co/yQvHigoiit — PolitiTweet.org

As we commemorate this anniversary and all that these landmark laws have done for individuals with disabilities, we also recognize that their full promise can only be reached if we continue working to fully implement them. Read our #ADA30 proclamation: https://t.co/IV9HlbPv8K — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73

Today, we celebrate 30 years of the Americans with Disabilities Act––and Virginia led the way five years earlier with the passage of the Virginians with Disabilities Act. Now more than ever, we remain committed to ensuring our Commonwealth is inclusive and accessible for all. https://t.co/ybXc4IXvm6 — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73

We will be watching the public health data closely over the weekend––if the numbers don't come down, we may have to take additional steps to blunt the spread of this virus. Wear a mask and practice physical distancing so we don't have to move back. Be smart and stay safe. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73

Non-compliance is one of the main reasons we have seen a troubling increase in #COVID19 cases in Hampton Roads. Now is not the time to let our guard down—take this seriously. ✅ Wear a face mask ✅ Maintain physical distance ✅ Avoid large crowds ✅ Wash your hands regularly — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73

Confederate statues don't belong in our capitols—state or federal. With today's unanimous vote, Virginia's Robert E. Lee statue will be removed from the halls of Congress and replaced with one that better represents our inclusive Commonwealth. Read more: https://t.co/QfGv1bnyMZ — PolitiTweet.org

I had a great conversation with our neighbors in DC and Maryland today. Northern Virginia's #COVID19 cases have dropped dramatically because people are wearing masks and staying vigilant. Let's keep it up! — PolitiTweet.org
