These health guidelines may be found by clicking here and the pertinent guidelines related to entertainment and public amusement may be found starting on page 29.

Additionally, any permitted organization wishing to resume indoor bingo activities must notify Mr. Rudy Johnson at rudy.johnson@vdacs.virginia.gov or Ms. Wanda Kelly at wanda.kelly@vdacs.virginia.gov prior to doing so in order to ensure the permit is documented appropriately. As a reminder, all organizations must notify OCRP of any cancellations and if the organization failed to notify OCRP earlier, then the organization must contact Mr. Johnson or Ms. Kelly pertaining to the cancellations and the desired date to resume its indoor bingo activities.
