Question

What are the COVID-19 restrictions that I need to be aware of in Virginia?

Answer

Summary: If fully vaccinated, masks are not required at the ceremony and reception venues (as of 7 November 2021). Effective Friday, May 28, 2021, Virginia has ended all mitigation restrictions on capacity and distancing in businesses and public spaces. (See: Executive Order Seventy-Nine.) Effective Friday, May 14, 2021, people fully vaccinated against COVID-19 no longer need to wear a mask in most public settings, indoors or outside. Anyone who is not yet vaccinated is strongly encouraged to wear masks in all settings. Businesses may still choose to require masks in their establishments, and masks will still be required in schools. Employees who work in certain business sectors—including restaurants, retail, fitness, personal care, and entertainment—must continue to wear masks unless fully vaccinated, per CDC guidance.
