Virginia Governor Ralph Northam issued a “Stay at Home” order for Virginians in order to mitigate the spread of the coronavirus, he announced during a news conference Monday. The order will last until June 10.

“As I have said for the last few weeks and as I have explicitly stated today in this executive order, I ask Virginians to stay at home,” Northam said.

He added, “We understand that you may need to leave to get groceries or to seek medical attention, however, you should stay home to the greatest extent possible.”

As of Monday morning, the State of Virginia has over 1,000 confirmed cases of the virus. That number, which is expected to rise, Northam said, is a result of “how people interacted two or three weeks ago.”
