Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bower has unveiled a list of 27 states deemed “high-risk areas” -- meaning those traveling from them must self-quarantine for 14 days if arriving in the nation's capital. As part of the District's effort to contain the coronavirus pandemic, the quarantine requirement was officially announced via an order from Bowser on Friday that did not specify which states were affected. DC MAYOR SIGNS SWEEPING REFORM BILL THAT INCLUDES CHOKEHOLD BANThe order says the list will be updated every two weeks, with the next update scheduled for Aug. 20. The order is in effect until Oct. 9, or until any date through which a state of emergency is extended, whichever is later. The requirement does not apply to those who are only “traveling through” those places, either by driving through or passing through an airport.
