On Wednesday evening, @FirstLadyVA and I were notified that a member of our official residence staff had developed symptoms and tested positive for #COVID19.
We both received PCR nasal swab tests yesterday and both tested positive.

@GovernorVA
Pam is experiencing mild symptoms, and I am asymptomatic. Per @VDHgov guidelines, we will isolate at home for 10 days and then reevaluate our symptoms.
I am in constant contact with my cabinet and staff, and will continue working from the Executive Mansion.

We're going to need Ralph during the election.

Thats was just last February. I guess not having to worry about running for re-election (or ever again) allows for decisions most politicians dont have available.

Its right in the middle of the city. There is an extensive tunnel system around capital square and over to MCV (VCU Health). The upstairs is the living area and its not that big. Downstairs is mostly for entertaining and events. Ive been there a couple of times for events.
Terry MacAuliffe had Guinness on tap on the first floor.
