Bowser to Impose City Wide Vaccine Requirement Effective January 15

by Larry Janezich

In a Situational Briefing today, Mayor Bowser said that on January 15, patrons of many indoor venues  in DC will need to show proof of having received at least one corvid vaccination, and by February 15, two. 

Venues include restaurants, bars, nightclubs, indoor cultural and entertainment facilities, indoor recreation and exercise facilities, and indoor event and meeting establishments.  The requirement is for patrons and not staff – it is not an employer mandate. 

Groceries and churches will be exempt.  Additional information on exemptions will be forthcoming.
