Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam announced a statewide mask requirement after the state recorded one of its highest single-day increases in COVID-19, and the requirement will go into effect on Friday.
“To protect each other, we all need to wear a face-covering in indoor public settings, starting this Friday, May 29. This includes retail stores, barbershops, restaurants, government buildings, on public transportation, or anywhere where people can congregate in groups indoors,” he wrote on Twitter.
