Gov. Northam Issues State of Emergency

Gov. Ralph Northam has declared a State of Emergency around 5:30 PM. Gov. Northam has also declared a 6 PM to 6 AM curfew in Alexandria and Arlington at the request of city officials of the jurisdictions.

Virginia sent its National Guard along with 200 Virginia State Troopers earlier today.

At the request of @AlexandriaVAGov and @ArlingtonVA, I am declaring a 6PM to 6AM curfew in these jurisdictions, with limited exceptions.

I am also issuing a State of Emergency in Virginia, so we can continue to respond.
