WASHINGTON, DC Mayor Muriel Bowser confirmed Monday she was extending the coronavirus public health emergency for D.C. to March 31, 2021. She issued her first emergency order early last March, so the District will be under a public health emergency for more than a year.
With the number of COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations, and deaths on the rise, Bowser said she was issuing a Mayor s Order to implement adjustments to Phase 2 restrictions. These changes go into effect 10 p.m. on Wednesday, and run through to 5 a.m., on Jan. 15, 2021.
