The annual Memorial Day ceremony in Stafford County is the latest victim in the coronavirus outbreak.
County officials noted this morning that they, regrettably, canceled the Memorial Day 2020 Ceremony at the Stafford Armed Services Memorial at the county government center, located at 1300 Courthouse Road, due to the COVID-19 pandemic along with adhering to CDC and State guidelines regarding social distancing and the governor’s 10-person gathering restriction.
While the rest of the commonwealth may be easing restrictions, localities north of the Chopawamsic Creek, to include Prince William County, will remain under a stay-at-home order.
That means non-essential businesses like churches, spas, barbershops, and entertainment venues like bowling alleys will remain closed. In Stafford County and points south, Virginia residents will begin the first phase of the governor’s plan to reopen the economy, called “safer at home.”
