ROANOKE, Va. – After Gov. Ralph Northam recently loosened COVID-19 restrictions for outdoor high school sporting events, some Virginia Congressmen feel they're still too restrictive. On Thursday, Rep. Ben Cline and Rep. Bob Good, both Republicans, wrote to the Democratic governor urging him to increase the maximum number of spectators allowed at games to 50% capacity or 500 people. He also pushed for Northam to follow CDC's 6-foot distancing guidelines instead of 10 feet that's currently in Executive Order 72. |
