The governor’s declaration does not address restrictions on the sale of alcohol. However, your locality may enact restrictions under their local emergency declaration. We recommend that you contact your local government for any specific information. Q: Is it an employer’s responsibility to pay employees who cannot get to work during a State of Emergency? A: The governor’s declaration does not mandate administrative policies for individual businesses or address workplace situations in which employees are unable to travel. Businesses must address hours of operation and compensation on an individual basis. Once a federal disaster is declared, employees unable to work may be eligible for unemployment assistance. More information is available in the Commonwealth of Virginia Emergency Services and Disaster Law of 2000.
