Virginia’s health commissioner said the first, limited phase of reopening from the strict lockdown will last two years.

“I, personally, think phase one will be a two-year affair,” state Health Commissioner Norman Oliver told the Richmond Times-Dispatch. “There are a lot of people working on this, and I hope they prove me wrong, but I don’t see it happening in less than two years.”
