RICHMOND, Va. (WWBT) - About a day until the new year and many of us are eager to celebrate the end of 2020, but the Virginia Department of Health is hoping to keep big celebrations to a minimum.
Much like the recommendations for Thanksgiving and Christmas, VDH is pushing for more smaller or virtual celebrations tomorrow night.
âAfter New Yearâs, itâs very possible that were going to see an increased number of [Covid-19] cases,â said Dr. Laurie Forlano, VDHâs Deputy Commissioner of Population Health.
