RICHMOND, Va. (AP) Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring says he wants businesses to help put a stop to sales of fake coronavirus vaccination cards from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
WAVY-TV reported Tuesday that the Herring is one of 45 state attorney generals calling on companies such as Twitter and eBay to prevent the spread of the fraudulent cards.
The law enforcement leaders say that companies should keep an eye out for ads or links to sales of blank or counterfeit vaccine cards. Once found, ads and links for the cards should be taken down.

When will California lift its mask mandate? History says now is not the time
FacebookTwitterEmail
When the day finally arrives that denizens of the Bay Area can tear off their masks and safely breathe one another’s unfiltered air, it won’t be accompanied by cheers and the tossing of face coverings into the streets.
That’s what happened in San Francisco in November 1918 during the influenza pandemic, and the celebrations turned out to be fatally premature. Barely a month later, the city was buried under a fresh wave of illness and death.
Lifting California’s mask mandate may be the single most obvious sign that the coronavirus pandemic is nearly over. “It will be a moment of exhaling and saying the worst is behind us,” said Dr. Ori Tzvieli, deputy health officer for Contra Costa County. But that moment will also arrive with much more caution this century than last, he said.
CDC issues new travel guidance for those who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19
CDC latest on travel for those vaccinated By Kimberly Curth | April 2, 2021 at 10:28 PM CDT - Updated April 2 at 10:28 PM
NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) -The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says those who are fully vaccinated against Covid-19 can resume travel at low risk to themselves.
“For domestic travel, fully vaccinated people do not need to get a Covid-19 test before or after travel and do not need to self-quarantine after travel. For example, fully vaccinated grandparents can fly to visit their healthy grandkids without getting a Covid-19 test or self-quarantine provided they follow the other recommended prevention methods while traveling,” said CDC Director Dr.Rochelle Walensky.
Fully vaccinated people can travel safely again, CDC says
