This year has been challenging for everyone. On #WorldMentalHealthDay, let's remember that taking care of ourselves is about more than just protecting our physical health—we must also prioritize mental health and check in loved ones. For resources visit, https://t.co/ceHKKpRAUj.
Pam and I are sending our best wishes to the President and First Lady, and to the more the 46,000 Americans—and 450 Virginians—also diagnosed with #COVID19 yesterday. This virus is very real and very serious. Let’s continue to take care of each other by doing the right things.
This year, Virginia passed sweeping new laws to make voting more accessible—this is what removing barriers to ballot box looks like. QT @marykbruce: People waiting for hours in Virginia to cast their ballots. Despite this massive line, no complaints here. Voters t… https://t.co/vFFaAQMIk9)
After lots of hard work, the health metrics in Hampton Roads have significantly improved—localities in the region are now permitted to rejoin the rest of the Commonwealth in Phase Three. Let’s all continue to stay vigilant so we can keep moving forward. https://t.co/KgSVgnh5be
Today marks the 75 years since the end of World War II—let us always remember the service and sacrifice of the Greatest Generation, whose patriotism, courage, and leadership remains a powerful example to this day. #WWII75

Thanks to @VAStateCorpComm, the existing moratorium on utility shutoffs has been extended through September 16—I will continue working with legislators to ensure we keep electricity, gas, and water services on for Virginians across the Commonwealth during the #COVID19 emergency. QT @Daily_Press: Virginia regulator extended a freeze on utility disconnections, which has been in place since March, until Sept. 16. https://t.co/RIPDTgjmMV)

Earlier today, I joined @SenatorLocke, @delegatebagby, the @VPLC, and many advocates to ceremonially sign the Virginia Fairness in Lending Act. After years of effort, this law will finally protect Virginians and their families from aggressive predatory lending practices. https://t.co/Xrb60QM1oN
Case numbers are rising in Hampton Roads, as are hospitalizations, ICU admissions, and emergency room visits related to #COVID19. And we are seeing a significant shift toward people 20 and younger testing positive. So, we are taking action to turn this around.
While Virginia has so far avoided the dramatic increase in cases that many other states are seeing, there continues to be a concerning rise in Hampton Roads and the Peninsula, where the test positivity rate is 10.8 percent—the rate for the rest of the Virginia averages 6 percent. https://t.co/iDg5BDxSEb
1️⃣ Starting Friday, no alcohol will be sold or consumed on site after 10 PM, and restaurants must close by midnight—this effectively closes all bars. 2️⃣ Indoor dining will be reduced to 50 percent capacity. 3️⃣ Social gatherings will be limited to 50 people.
These new restrictions take effect July 31 at midnight and will apply to the Cities of Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Norfolk, Suffolk, Portsmouth, Hampton, Williamsburg, Newport News, Poquoson, James City County, and York County. This is about stopping the spread in Hampton Roads.
But even though these new measures are targeted at mitigating the spread of #COVID19 in Hampton Roads, everyone must remain vigilant. Let's ALL do the right thing and follow the guidelines: Wear a mask. Keep your distance. Wash your hands regularly. Stay home. Avoid crowds.

Today, I shared some important updates on our continued response to #COVID19 in Virginia. Case counts are largely stable in 4 of our 5 health regions—including in Northern Virginia, where 3 million people live. Cases have dropped there by two-thirds, since the peak in late May. https://t.co/RiOgU2VIM5

Small businesses are the backbone of our economy and the bedrock of our communities—and they are among those hardest hit by #COVID19.
