Operative words
As you know, together our jurisdictions represent half of the Commonwealth's COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations and deaths... As you make the decision as to when Phase 1 should commence, we offer the following input: 1) The threshold metrics that you provided in the Forward Virginia plan should guide any transition to Phase 1. 2) We believe the industry-specific guidelines that you provided for Phase 1 are appropriate and prudent. 3) The transition to Phase 1 in Northern Virginia should occur when our region has achieved the threshold metrics.
Enforcement
Implemented by the Governor's EO 62 (May 12, 2020) and EO 65 (Phase Two in Northern Virginia June 12, 2020)
Notes
The local instrument that kept Northern Virginia closed two weeks longer than the rest of the Commonwealth (Phase One May 29 rather than May 15, 2020) and a week longer for Phase Two (June 12 rather than June 5, 2020).
