ALL WHRO SITES Hampton Roads Businesses Are Handling New Masking Guidelines Differently
Details Published: 21 May 2021
Nearly a year after first issuing a mask mandate in Virginia, Gov. Ralph Northam embraced new federal guidance that says fully vaccinated people do not need a mask in most settings.
Some businesses in Hampton Roads were quick to adopt the new policy for their own customers and staff. But others intend to keep mask requirements in place for now creating a patchwork of different rules from business to business.
“We’ve been [requiring masks] since we opened last year in May,” Morgan Chavis, owner of Lusso Salon in Portsmouth, told WHRV.
At the center of the debate is the massive Paycheck Protection Program, federal relief that infused more than half a trillion dollars into businesses through low-interest bank loans last year.
