RUSTBURG, Va. (AP) — Officials in Virginia’s Campbell County have passed a resolution that expresses opposition to the governor’s new safety guidelines that aim limit the spread of the coronavirus.

The Lynchburg News & Advance reports that the county’s supervisors declared the county on Tuesday to be a “First Amendment sanctuary.” The resolution is considered to be mostly symbolic and is similar to a Second Amendment sanctuary resolution that was passed by the county’s board more than a year ago.

Gov. Ralph Northam’s executive order limits indoor and outdoor gatherings to no more than 25 people. It also directs restaurants and bars to halt alcohol sales at 10 p.m. and close by midnight.

The county’s resolution claims the Democratic governor’s mandate violates the state’s constitution and seeks to oppose enforcement of his executive order. It asks the sheriff’s office “not assist any state law enforcement officer, state health agent or federal agent” attempting to enforce the order.

The Virginia Department of Health enforces the governor’s mandates, not local law enforcement agencies.

Supervisor Steve Shockley said the resolution is a largely symbolic gesture. And Campbell County Attorney Tripp Isenhour said he still is evaluating the implication of the resolution. He was unable to say the effect it would have on the county in enforcing executive mandates.
