Governor Glenn Youngkin Releases Statement on Tech Outages
RICHMOND, VA - This morning, Governor Glenn Youngkin released the following statement on tech outages:
"Amidst the global tech outages, overnight we have conducted an initial assessment to determine impacts across government agencies and departments for functionality," said Governor Glenn Youngkin. "Critical health and safety systems, including 911 call systems and transportation infrastructure, are operational. However, airlines continue to experience significant disruptions. The assessment determined that government administrative functions are experiencing disruptions, and we are coordinating with local, regional and federal authorities and private sector critical infrastructure partners in order to reestablish normal operations. As a result of the administrative disturbances, Virginians may experience delays and we ask everyone to remain patient as we work to remedy and reestablish the high standards that Virginians deserve."
