@APSVirginia and @ArlingtonVA implement COVID-19 vaccine mandate for all employees.

[Francisco Durán, Ed.D. @SuptDuran]

Mandatory staff vaccinations and our universal mask requirement are two of the most effective ways to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and are vital ways we are working to keep our schools open and safe for all. https://t.co/BGgOGEuJzg

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.
