WASHINGTON (AP) — The nation’s capital is tightening its public COVID-19 restrictions in the face of spiraling virus numbers locally and around the country.
Mayor Muriel Bowser said Monday that the District of Columbia will remain in Phase 2 of its reopening plan, but she announced a number of adjustments, “so that we can get the virus under control in our city until we get to the other side where a vaccine will be widely available.”
Starting Wednesday, Nov. 25, the maximum limit for outdoor gatherings will be reduced from 50 to 25 people and indoor gatherings will be limited to 10 people. Restaurants can continue to stay open until midnight but must suspend alcohol sales at 10 p.m. Houses of worship can continue at 50% capacity, although the maximum limit on the number of people will drop from 100 to 50.

Can I ask a stupid question?
Remember when the original shutdowns were supposed to be for approximately two weeks, to flatten the curve , so that hospitals would not be overwhelmed by virus patients?
When did the goal of flattening the curve, somehow morph into shutting down society until some indefinite future time when a vaccine is available?
boost limits = oxymoron
Let’s all remember that this whole thing started with TV footage out of Wuhan showing people in hazmat suits rushing to the aid of people falling in the streets like they’d just been gassed.
Haven’t seen that kind of thing happening since.
“boost limits = oxymoron”
Yea; when I first read the headline I thought the DC mayor was doing something reasonable (i.e., raising the number of people who can dine indoors, etc.). I should have known better.
