Virginia: On June 10, Governor Ralph Northam extended Executive Orders Fifty-Seven and Fifty-Eight, which were originally signed in April and were due to expire on June 10, which implements several policies designed to expand Virginia’s health care workforce to assist with the Commonwealth’s COVID-19 response. The order allows for the expanded use of telehealth and authorizes out-of-state licensees to provide in-state care at hospitals, nursing facilities, dialysis facilities, physician offices, and other health care facilities.
