Northam says results from widescale testing from Accomack County’s two large chicken plants, Perdue and Tyson, are expected soon. Multiple people at the plants, the county’s largest employers, have tested positive for COVID-19. Federal workers have been deployed to help the situation, but workers’ advocates said Wednesday they’d like to see “enforceable regulations.”
Meanwhile, Gov. Northam says he’ll provide more details on the specifics of Virginia’s “phase 1” reopening plan this Friday, as Virginia looks to start “phase 1” next Friday, May 15. While Virginia may be loosening restrictions statewide, Northam says if local government want to impose additional restrictions, the state will allow that. He says the state’s guidance is the “floor.”
“A week ago, I said we needed 2 weeks of declining numbers [to move forward],” Northam says. “We’re seeing that, and I hope we can move into phase one on May 15.”

They wait until After this weekend (mothers day weekend) to announce results so then after people coming to OC to celebrate mothers day and some money is made .. they will shut OC back down using the results of tests as a reason,,
ReplyDeleteNope, wrong
DeleteNo one is coming to OC to "celebrate mothers day." You people are truly insane and really probably should be thinking about getting at the minimum a mental evaluation
ReplyDelete"Coming Soon" - ???? huh?
ReplyDeleteMovie trailer time?
Geez Dr. NO!
We are told our paper money carries the virus, well so can wet moist chicken!
ReplyDeleteFunny you mention money, The teller at my bank said money must not be a carrier of the virus or they all would all be sick by now.
DeleteMost people cook chicken before eating
DeleteDon't worry 10:51, everyone will be or has been exposed. You won't be left out.
DeleteDo you really expect them to go public with that information ? Why would they ? They are only doing it to get the scared workers to keep coming to the plant. Has nothing to do with the community. They are going to be very surprised to find that most of the people that have been showing up and working with no symptoms test positive.
