Initiatives to Ease Transition to Phase 1 Reopening

Arlington has introduced ways to make it easier for residents and businesses to transition to Phase 1 of the Forward Virginia plan, and to encourage personal responsibility as the County begins to reopen:

• "We Are Covered" program gives Arlington businesses, multi-family residences, and houses of worship a way to show they have pledged to protect the people who come through their doors

• New online tool provides a way to report concerns about possible non-compliance issues in public places

• Face Coverings are now required in public indoor settings in Virginia, so we've created a new page with helpful links, a list of how to get face coverings and tips on how to make your own
• Temporary Outdoor Seating Areas (TOSAs) are newly created or expanded exterior spaces at restaurants, bars, or cafés

Arlington Board Members and County leadership discussed a range of topics—from reopening and testing to outdoor seating at restaurants and the new requirements on face coverings. WATCH NOW
