From the Mayor’s Office:
“Today, DC Health released an updated list of high-risk states where the seven-day moving average of daily new COVID-19 cases is 10 or more per 100,000 persons. Mayor Bowser issued Mayor’s Order 2020-081 with requirements for all people traveling into Washington, DC from high-risk states.
Anyone coming into Washington, DC from a high-risk state (within the prior 14 days) who was traveling for non-essential activities will be required to self-quarantine for 14 days from their arrival in the District. Individuals traveling from high-risk states after essential travel or arriving in the District for essential travel are required to self-monitor for symptoms of COVID-19 for 14 days and, if they show signs or experience symptoms of COVID-19, they are to self-quarantine and seek medical advice or testing.
Travel to and from Maryland and Virginia is exempt from the Order. This list should be used until Monday, August 24, when an updated list will be posted on coronavirus.dc.gov.
States that were added to the updated list include: Alaska, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, and Minnesota.
States that were removed from the updated list include: Delaware, Ohio, and Washington.

Ed. Note: Yesterday there were 12,753 total positives.
From the Mayor’s Office:
“The District’s reported data for Sunday, August 9, 2020 includes 54 new positive coronavirus (COVID-19) cases, bringing the District’s overall positive case total to 12,807.
The District reported no additional COVID-19 related deaths.
Tragically, 591 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…)
