From the Mayor’s Office:

“The District’s reported data for January 6, 2022 includes 1,928 new confirmed positive coronavirus (COVID-19) cases, bringing the District’s overall confirmed positive case total to 110,040.

Beginning today, DC Health will also report ‘Probable Cases’ data, which includes self-reported positive rapid antigen test results submitted through the over-the-counter test reporting portal.

From October 15, 2021 through January 7, 2022, 59,438 rapid antigen test results were reported, which includes 6,728 self-reported probable positive cases. This includes data from DCPS Safe Return results.

COVID-19 cases are defined per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and DC Health as confirmed, probable, or suspect based on laboratory, clinical, and exposure data. Reporting of home-based or point-of-care rapid antigen test results may not be complete or representative of case rates in the community. Probable cases can be used in conjunction with confirmed cases to track disease spread, but will be reported separately from confirmed cases to be consistent with CDC definitions.

The community is encouraged to continue reporting the results of their rapid tests at coronavirus.dc.gov/overthecounter

The District reported that two additional residents lost their lives due to COVID-19.

· 59-year-old female
· 85-year-old male

Tragically, 1,227 District residents have lost their lives due to COVID-19.

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.

You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.
