Youngkin sued over ‘unconstitutional’ order lifting school mask mandate
A lawsuit filed Tuesday in the Supreme Court of Virginia claims that Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s executive order rescinding the statewide mask mandate in K-12 schools is unconstitutional. It’s the latest development in a quickly developing dispute between the new governor and parents and school districts that want to continue mask requirements in their schools.
Additional day added to weekly COVID-19 testing at Richmond Raceway
The COVID-19 community testing center at Richmond Raceway will expand its operations to add one more day of testing each week and now will operate Saturday through Wednesday, Richmond and Henrico Health Districts officials announced Tuesday. Adding Wednesday testing opportunities will increase the total testing capacity at the site by about 500 tests weekly, officials said.
