Alexandria, VA – Alexandria entered the first phase of Governor Ralph S. Northam’s “Forward Virginia” plan today. To mark the occasion, Alexandria City Council released a video to thank residents..
In the video, Mayor Justin M. Wilson called COVID-19 “one of the toughest challenges our community has ever faced.”
He expressed empathy and care for all who have been affected by the virus and took time to thank front-line workers.
“Thank you to everyone who is staying home as much as possible,” he said. “It’s working, and we can see the rate of new cases slowing.”
Councilwoman Del Pepper thanked essential employees whose work will not allow them to stay home. And in a similar message, Councilman Mo Seifeldein thanked doctors and nurses.
Residents have played a huge role in reaching this milestone. But Alexandria, in a press release, shared that there is a long way to go. Stay vigilant and safe.
