Gov. Ralph Northam announced on Monday that Virginia schools would remain closed through the end of the academic year and that all non-essential businesses would also remain close in an effort to slow the spread of the coronavirus.
The governor also provided a list of what businesses are considered non-essential, such as movie theaters, fitness centers, barber shops and beauty salons, museums and concert venues. However, one of the stores that made his "essential" list? Liquor stores.
