“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

We’re about a month out from summer. That means you’ve still got time for spring cleaning!
Lexi Grant, an operations manager at Well-Paid Maids, shared her go-to spring cleaning tips with WTOP News. Step one? Declutter. Get rid of items you don’t use, find space for items that need a home and organize those areas.
Then, it’s time to dust. Lexi starts with high-touch surface areas (think: refrigerator, dishwasher, counters, microwave). One area she sees often neglected is the bedroom — and it makes sense. Heavy furniture is difficult to move around, but it’s important to really get in there so dust doesn’t affect your sleep.
