Only Two Changes to DC Quarantine List This Week October 5, 2020

On Monday, DC Health published its up-to-date list of states requiring a quarantine for individuals (1) visiting from the states or (2) District residents who had traveled to the states. Only New Mexico was added to the list, which now totals 31 states. This means anyone visiting or visiting from those states must quarantine for 2 weeks when coming into the District. Arizona once again was removed from the quarantine list, although popular vacation destinations Delaware and West Virginia remain.

DC Health defines “high-risk areas” as locations where the seven (7)-day moving average daily new COVID-19 case rate is ten (10) or more per one hundred thousand (100,000) persons. Travel to and from Maryland and Virginia is exempted.

An updated list will be published Monday, October 19.
