Richmond, VA (Friday, September 25, 2020) – Another indication that the COVID-19 pandemic isn’t over.  Virginia Governor Ralph Northam and his wife have tested positive for the coronavirus.  The governor’s office made the announcement this morning, saying it appears Northam doesn’t have any symptoms, but his wife is experiencing mild symptoms.

The Northams tested positive yesterday after learning earlier in the week that one of their residential staff members had the virus.  The couple is said to be in good spirits and will isolate for the next 10 days.  ” As I’ve been reminding Virginians throughout this crisis, COVID-19 is very real and very contagious,” Northam said.

The Executive Mansion and Patrick Henry Office Building are closed today for deep cleaning.
