The Dinwiddie County Chamber of Commerce is closely monitoring all updates and information available regarding the threat of COVID-19.  On Thursday, March 12, 2020, Governor Northam declared a state of emergency for our Commonwealth.  As as result, county and city governments are taking pro-active measures to help prevent the spread of this virus.  As of this post, there are no confirmed cases of COVID-19 in our community, but the threat is real, both to our citizens and to the economy.

The chamber will work with and follow the guidelines set forth by Dinwiddie County government and/or Dinwiddie County Public Schools (current school info).  We will pass along information as it becomes available to us.  Follow us on Facebook for updates as well:  facebook.com/dinwiddiechamber
