This morning, I joined @fox5dc to talk about our decision to delay entering Phase One for localities in Northern Virginia as we continue working together to ensure the region can meet the necessary health metrics to begin easing restrictions. https://t.co/w8LLRQSwZW — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73

The National Capital Region continues to be united in our gradual, data-driven approach to reopening. We all share the same goals—to protect the health and safety of our residents as we move forward. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73

Thank you @FallsChurchGov Mayor Tarter, @JeffreyCMcKay, @libbygarvey, @PRandallcares, @AnninPWC, and @justindotnet for joining me this afternoon to discuss our unified plan to delay Phase One for Northern Virginia. Here is the full video of our briefing: https://t.co/SUzZtw7alL — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73

We are experiencing technical difficulties with our livestream––we will post the full video of today's press conference online at the conclusion of the briefing. Thank you for your understanding. — PolitiTweet.org

I'm sharing the latest updates on our fight against #COVID19 in Virginia. Tune in here: https://t.co/gnHjBSqzrH — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73

Today, I was proud to help distribute 40,000 units of PPE to underserved neighborhoods in @CityRichmondVA. This health crisis continues to expose deep-rooted inequities experienced by communities of color, and we must remain focused on advancing equity as we respond to #COVID19. https://t.co/8c2BJJadZW — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73

We will continue to work closely with leaders in Northern Virginia on a plan to delay implementation of Phase One until at least May 29. At my 2:00 PM briefing tomorrow, I will be joined by local officials to explain how this will work. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73

I appreciate the continued collaboration between my administration and local leaders in Northern Virginia—uniformity across the region is critical to our data-driven and health-focused approach, rather than a piecemeal strategy across towns or counties. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73

Data also show that Northern Virginia has about a 25% positivity rate, while the rest of the Commonwealth is closer to 10%––and just yesterday, the Northern Virginia region reported more than 700 cases, while the rest of Virginia reported approximately 270 cases. https://t.co/ys2NeAmr9n — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73

While the number of cases alone does not provide an accurate picture of the virus, we can make some important comparisons across regions—which consistently show that on any given day, 70% of the Commonwealth’s positive #COVID19 cases are in the Northern Virginia region. https://t.co/8r0qj3DZam — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73

That’s why our Phase One guidelines are a floor, not a ceiling. While no region can move faster to lift restrictions, some regions may need to move more slowly. This allows them to prioritize the health and safety of their residents, and gives them more time to meet key metrics. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73

As I have said before, it's important that all of Virginia achieves the benchmarks we have laid out before moving into Phase One—but I also recognize that we live in a diverse Commonwealth, and different regions face different challenges. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73

Today, I signed an executive order delaying Phase One of our #ForwardVirginia plan to safely ease restrictions on certain business operations for specific localities in Northern Virginia. https://t.co/ZP4DzNEytP — PolitiTweet.org

Happy #MothersDay to my rock, @FirstLadyVA, and all of the moms and mother figures across our Commonwealth! While the celebration looks a little different this year, we are just as grateful for your unwavering love, commitment, compassion through good times, and difficult ones. https://t.co/8S1wZRwsm2 — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73

We have slowed the spread of #COVID19, but we have not yet cured this disease. The virus is still circulating, and Virginians must remain cautious––we cannot afford to let our guard down. Phase One guidance for specific business sectors is available here: https://t.co/NxfuJsbRGm — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73

I have said before that these restrictions will be a floor, not a ceiling. Our #ForwardVirginia plan allows localities to consider delaying implementation of the Phase One guidelines based on their local conditions. Learn more here: https://t.co/1udgy2e97J — PolitiTweet.org

In this first phase, non-essential businesses can begin to expand their operations if they make modifications to: ✔️ provide face coverings for employees ✔️ maintain strict physical distancing ✔️ increase cleaning and sanitization of high contact surfaces — PolitiTweet.org
