Operative words

Everyone is required to stay home, with exceptions for buying food, caring for family members, seeking medical attention, going to work, or volunteering for a nonprofit... All public and private gatherings of 10 or more people continue to be prohibited... All County and APS parks and facilities (parks, fields, playgrounds, restrooms, tracks, dog parks and athletic courts) remain closed... those few people who have not been taking the COVID-19 crisis seriously... are likely to experience increased enforcement.

Enforcement

County enforcement of EO 55 (Class 1 misdemeanor under Va. Code § 44-146.17)
