Mayor Bowser has issued an executive order, requiring anyone in the District leaving their home wear a face covering. There are a few exceptions. A mask is not required:
- For individuals in an enclosed office
- Children under the age of 2
- When eating or drinking
- If exercising vigorously
The Mayor says there is an upward tick of COVID-19 cases in the city, especially for those under the age of 40, with hospitalizations doubling for that group in the last month. COVID-19 testing centers in the city are reopening today. There are 102 new coronavirus cases in DC. 627 reported in Maryland. 956 in Virginia.
