Gov. Northam says he’s issuing an executive order that is effective at 12 a.m. Friday that will impose tighter restrictions to curb the spread of COVID-19 in Hampton Roads, which includes:

• No alcohol sold after 10 p.m.
• Restaurants close at midnight
• 50 percent capacity limit at restaurants, food courts, breweries, wineries, etc.
• Parties limited to 50 people

Northam says the first two restrictions effectively close bars, a major source of COVID-19 spread in the region.
