Friends,

We know that there isn’t anyone among us that hasn't been affected by the coronavirus pandemic. We wanted to share some tips on staying safe during this pandemic and also let you know what the Democratic Party of Virginia is doing to keep moving towards victory in November.

Many people out there are spreading misinformation, both unwittingly and deliberately. Please make sure that you are following the guidance provided by the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) and the Virginia Department of Health (VDH). They are the specialists and they know what they’re talking about -- please take their lead. Here are some of their guidelines.

1. Wash your hands regularly with soap and water
2. Practice social distancing (stay 6 feet away from others)
3. Stay home when possible (travel only for essentials)
4. Work from home when possible
5. Contact your primary care physician if you believe you may have contracted COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus

Governor Northam is providing regular updates about Virginia’s response to COVID-19. The press conferences can be viewed here → https://www.facebook.com/pg/GovernorVA/videos/

The DPVA is committed to electing Democrats up and down the ticket in November, and COVID-19 doesn’t end that -- it just means we have to do things a little differently for the time being. Our priority is the health and wellbeing of our staff, friends, and committee members. While our physical office is closed, DPVA staff are always available to help via phone and email.

Stay tuned to our website, vademocrats.org, our social media accounts, @vademocrats across all platforms, and check in at mobilize.us to stay up to date on how you can stay involved virtually so we can keep up the fight.

Stay well,
Team DPVA
