Virginia Governor Ralph Northam joined a growing number of states in issuing a stringent 'stay at home' order on Monday, telling residents to remain in their homes except for essential purposes until June 10.Many states and municipalities across the country have already issued stay at home or 'shelter in place' orders as the coronavirus pandemic continues to spread rapidly. Announcing the executive order on Monday, Northam said: 'I want to be clear: Do not go out unless you need to go out. This is very different than wanting to go out.'

The executive order from Northam, a Democrat, is set to remain in place far longer than the stringent social distancing guidelines laid out by the federal government. President Donald Trump on Sunday extended the guidance through April 30, saying that the data the White House coronavirus taskforce had gathered suggested that the surge in infections and deaths would peak in the middle of April.

New York's Governor Andrew Cuomo on Sunday extended his 'New York at Pause' deadline until just April 15, although the state has the highest number of confirmed coronavirus cases in the country by far.
