The Fredericksburg Chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People announced at a press conference that it would join a coalition to advance statewide increases in testing and vaccinations for the coronavirus.

This organization, known as the Virginia Safe and Healthy Communities Coalition, used the conference held at Shiloh Baptist Church to announce the COVID-19 Mobile Public Health Education Unit launch. The unit will promote vaccine clinics, testing sites, and recommendations made by the Center for Disease Control, such as wearing masks and washing hands statewide.

The coalition's message will be mainly aimed at African-American communities in the commonwealth who may not have taken the vaccine or any precautions against the coronavirus.
