Governor Northam announced Thursday that if COVID-19 numbers keep trending down and vaccination rates keep going up, he plans to lift all pandemic mitigation measures on June 15. This would include capacity restrictions and social distancing requirements in Virginia, and possibly even the statewide mask mandate.

In Thursday’s press conference, Governor Northam gave good news: the commonwealth is seeing the lowest number of people hospitalized with COVID in seven months. There has also been a dramatic drop in deaths related to the virus in recent weeks.

For Virginia schools, Northam said he does not anticipate requiring the shot for students on a federal level. He does, however, encourage school districts to keep mask mandates in place, following CDC guidelines.

If the governor plans to extend Virginia’s mask mandate, the pandemic state of emergency will also have to be extended, according to Virginia law.

On May 15, the Governor is relaxing some restrictions in Virginia. On that date, 100 people will be allowed at social gatherings indoors, 250 for outdoors. They are increasing capacity limits for indoor venues to 50 percent up to 1,000 people. Outdoor venues can operate at 50 percent capacity with no cap. Restaurants can begin selling alcohol after midnight.
