Northam to visit women-owned biotech company, sign equity legislation in Norfolk on Friday

NORFOLK, Va. (WAVY) -- Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam will be in Norfolk on Friday morning to make two stops.

First, he's visiting a woman-owned biotechnology supply manufacturer. He'll then head over to Military Circle Mall, which has a FEMA COVID-19 vaccine site, to sign legislation for equity in emergency management.

WAVY will be at both events. Check back for coverage later today.

Northam just announced on Thursday that Virginians will no longer have to wear a mask when alone or in a small group outdoors, going with new CDC guidance.

The announcement also immediately allows crowds of up to 1,000 people at outdoor recreational events such as high school sports.

More restrictions on gatherings, outdoor entertainment events and more are expected to be changed on May 15.
