All of Virginia is now in Phase Two

On Friday, Governor Ralph Northam allowed Northern Virginia and Richmond join the rest of Virginia in the second phase of the “Forward Virginia” plan, easing public health restrictions.

Under Phase Two, the Commonwealth will maintain a Safer at Home strategy with continued recommendations for social distancing, teleworking, and requiring people to wear face coverings in indoor public settings. The maximum number of individuals permitted in a social gathering is now 50 people. All businesses should still adhere to physical distancing guidelines, frequently clean and sanitize high contact surfaces, and continue enhanced workplace safety measures.

Under Phase Two restaurant, bars, breweries and wineries may offer indoor dining/ drinking at 50% of occupancy, fitness centers may open indoor areas at 30% occupancy, and certain recreation and entertainment venues without shared equipment may open with restrictions. These venues include museums, zoos, aquariums, botanical gardens, and outdoor concert, sporting, and performing arts venues. Swimming pools may also expand operations to both indoor and outdoor exercise, diving, and swim instruction.
