Virginia Goes to Phase 2 But Bowling Centers Must Remain Closed

Governor Northam signed Executive Order Sixty-Five and presented the second phase of the “Forward Virginia” plan to continue safely and gradually easing public health restrictions while containing the spread of COVID-19. Unfortunately, bowling centers are not allowed to open yet.   Unless something changes, they will be closed at least until Virginia enters Phase 3, which could be another 2 to 4 weeks.
