We have come a long way together since March. Because everyone has made sacrifices, we have flattened the curve and kept hospitals from being overwhelmed. But we can’t act like #COVID19 is gone—as we can see from the data in Hampton Roads, it is not. We must remain vigilant. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73

If you own a restaurant or a business and you’re following the guidelines—THANK YOU. But if not, then your license will be on the line. We will not hesitate to take action to stop the people who are flouting the rules and putting everyone else at risk. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73

That’s why we are taking action today to head this off. I am directing a multi-agency effort to step up enforcement of our existing guidelines—we are deploying teams to conduct unannounced visits to establishments across Virginia, with a focus on the Hampton Roads area. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73

We don’t want to see the same #COVID19 spikes that other states are experiencing right now. Virginia borders five other states and DC, and Hampton Roads is a big tourist hub. We all need to take this virus seriously, or we could see bigger increases across our Commonwealth. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73

But Hampton Roads has recently seen an uptick in #COVID19 cases. The percent positivity is 10.1 percent, and it’s been rising for a number of days. This increase appears to be driven by people who are not adhering to public health guidelines––and I'm very concerned about that. https://t.co/692ZWYR92Q — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73

Today, I updated Virginians on our continued response to #COVID19. Case counts remain largely stable in the majority of Virginia's health regions—and cases are dramatically down in Northern Virginia, where two thirds of Virginians live. https://t.co/rYxuHOcrmd — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks, Senator. This is about keeping Virginians safe. #MaskUpSaveLives — PolitiTweet.org

Virginia stepped up to protect displaced migratory birds after federal protections were gutted earlier this year. On Friday, I visited their newly-constructed alternative nesting habitat in Hampton Roads—and I think they like it. 🐦 Learn more here: https://t.co/wEhISCP6j0 https://t.co/z9sd9ZLC0F — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73

If we ALL do our part and take this virus seriously, we can stop the spread. 1️⃣ Avoid large crowds. 2️⃣ Wash your hands often. 3️⃣ Wear face coverings in indoor public spaces, 4️⃣ If you see a business flouting the rules, let your local health department know. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73

We are taking a cautious approach to reopening so we can closely monitor what's happening. We will continue watching the data over the coming days to make sure public health guidelines are being followed—and I won't hesitate to impose restrictions if needed. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73

So far, Virginia has avoided the same spike in #COVID19 cases that other states are experiencing, but we are starting to see a concerning increase, particularly in Hampton Roads. We all have to stay vigilant—we have come too far to let our guard down now. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73

I want to thank all the legislators who sponsored these bills, and those who voted for them. I want to thank the courageous advocates, survivors, and victims' families for their tenacity and tireless work. Read more and watch today's bill signing here: https://t.co/hOSQkHWKgF — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73

If we can’t change minds, we must change seats. That’s what Virginians did in November—they said enough is enough. They made it clear that they were tired of the status quo, tired of tragedies, and tired of inaction. And this year we took action. This is why elections matter. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73

One year ago, I called a special session to respond to the gun violence epidemic in Virginia. I asked legislators for votes and laws—but neither happened. Today, I was proud to sign seven commonsense laws that will prevent gun violence in our Commonwealth and save lives. https://t.co/G0OIgHXqBi — PolitiTweet.org
