Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73

Together with enhanced testing and contact tracing, we can continue safely easing health restrictions—but everyone must keep taking the necessary steps to protect yourself and those around you. More information on Phase Three can be found here: https://t.co/dnrwCRiJ0w — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73

We are able to safely move into Phase Three next week because Virginians have been doing the right things, like staying home and practicing social distancing. But we need to remain cautious––cases are on the rise in many other states, and we do not want to see that in Virginia. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73

Phase Three still means you are #SaferAtHome––especially if you are vulnerable. ✅ Teleworking is still strongly encouraged. ✅ You still need to practice physical distancing in all situations outside your home. ✅ Face coverings are still required in indoor public spaces. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73

Here's what you can expect in Phase Three: https://t.co/yN0qqPByqG — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73

Thanks to Virginians pulling together over the last four months, our key health metrics are trending in the right direction, and every region of the Commonwealth is on track to enter Phase Three of our #ForwardVirginia plan next week, on Wednesday, July 1. — PolitiTweet.org

I am extending my earlier executive order that helps our hospitals and nursing homes increase bed capacity to confront a potential medical surge––while we are not seeing the same spike in #COVID19 cases as some of our neighbors, we must stay prepared. https://t.co/hIVduRDHd4 — PolitiTweet.org

Happy #PrideMonth, Virginia! As we celebrate long-overdue progress in advancing LGBTQ rights in this country and in this Commonwealth, we must also redouble our efforts to ensure Virginia is inclusive and welcoming to all––no matter who you are, who you love, or how you identify. https://t.co/t6JyUUcDvd — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73

Today, Virginia is reporting our lowest #COVID19 positivity rate yet––6.5%. In the past 24 hours, 445 new cases and 9 deaths were reported to @VDHgov, significantly lower than the daily peaks in late May. Hospitalizations continue to drop and we conducted 12,421 additional tests. https://t.co/mxB5mUifbN — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73

On #Juneteenth, we commemorate the day in 1865 when the last enslaved people in America learned of the Emancipation Proclamation, a pivotal step toward freedom and justice for all. As we celebrate, we must also educate––on how far we have come, and how far we have to go. https://t.co/KHBj694FGJ — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73

Fue genial estar en @fairfaxcounty hoy y escuchar a líderes Latinos sobre los desafíos que enfrentan en la lucha contra #COVID19. Nuestras comunidades de color están siendo desproporcionadamente afectadas por este virus––debemos continuar respondiendo con lentes de equidad. https://t.co/vFgOEYEYQz — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73

It was great to be in @fairfaxcounty today to hear from local Latino leaders and activists about the challenges they face in the fight against #COVID19. Our communities of color are being disproportionately affected by this virus––we must continue to respond with an equity lens. https://t.co/FiLPlNvUAH — PolitiTweet.org

I want to thank @Pharrell for joining me today and for working—alongside so many others—to make the significance of #Juneteenth known, understood, and celebrated. Learn more about Juneteenth and today's announcement here: https://t.co/oe8nr2mJuZ — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73

Virginia has marked this important milestone with an annual written proclamation. We need to do much more than that. Today, I announced that Juneteenth will be a paid state holiday in our Commonwealth this year, and I will work with the General Assembly to make this permanent. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73

It mattered then because it marked the end of slavery in this country, and it matters now because it says to Black communities, this is not just your history—this is everyone’s shared history, and we celebrate it together. — PolitiTweet.org
