Dear Jack,
I'm wishing the best for you and your family during this difficult time. Every week, I'll be sending you updates on what the COVID-19 situation looks like in Virginia, and the latest news on what we're doing to stop the spread and help those who are impacted by the virus.
Forward Virginia Update
Governor Northam released a statement today saying that while the rest of the state will be moving to Phase 2 on Friday, June 5th, Northern Virginia (including Loudoun and Prince William counties) will be remaining in Phase 1. Health officials need more time to track our data and ensure that it's safe to open. You can read the Governor's press release here.
