CHINCOTEAGUE, Va. (WAVY) — A Chincoteague church has asked a federal court to grant a temporary restraining order against Gov. Ralph Northam, alleging his executive orders during COVID-19 preventing the church from gathering for worship are unconstitutional.
Gov. Ralph Northam has signed several executive orders since the COVID-19 pandemic hit Virginia. Some have closed schools, prevented some non-essential businesses from operating, and ordered Virginians to stay at home except for essential business.
