RICHMOND<\/strong>\u2014Governor Ralph Northam today issued a statewide Stay at Home order to protect the health and safety of Virginians and mitigate the spread of the novel coronavirus, or COVID-19.

Individuals may leave their residence for allowable travel, including to seek medical attention, work, care for family or household members, obtain goods and services like groceries, prescriptions, and others as outlined in Executive Order Fifty-Three<\/a>, and engage in outdoor activity with strict social distancing requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The executive order also directs all Virginia institutions of higher education to stop in-person classes and instruction. Private campgrounds must close for short-term stays, and beaches will be closed statewide except for fishing and exercise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe are in a public health crisis, and we need everyone to take this seriously and act responsibly,\u201d said Governor Northam<\/strong>.\u201cOur message to Virginians is clear: stay home.
