“Dear PoPville,
Hoping the community might know the official status of Acqua al 2 in Eastern Market? They had been selling grocery items earlier in the pandemic and then updated their website and posted on social media that they would be temporarily closing in late June to prepare for indoor dining in July. However, their phone line is currently not in service and friends have mentioned it looks very closed and empty from the outside. Does anyone know what’s going on?

Ed. Note: Yesterday there were 13,325 total positives.
From the Mayor’s Office:
“The District’s reported data for Tuesday, August 18, 2020 includes 29 new positive coronavirus (COVID-19) cases, bringing the District’s overall positive case total to 13,354.
The District reported one additional COVID-19 related death.

Tragically, 600 District residents have lost their lives due to COVID-19.
The community spread chart is subject to fluctuation because the data is based on symptom onset date. As national demand for testing increases and results take longer to come back in DC and across the country, DC Health has identified a need to increase the reporting lag time by four days to reduce volatility in the data. The most recent data reflects an increase in community spread. To ensure this graph accurately reflects the most recent data, the community spread count is being paused as these adjustments are made.” (more…)
