Washington DC's Democratic Mayor Muriel Bowser announced on Monday during her COVID-19 address that the nation's capital will no longer require indoor businesses to verify vaccination status before allowing customers entry, effective February 15.
In addition to dropping the vaccine requirement, DC will no longer enforce indoor masking come March 1 except for areas that pose greater risk for spreading the disease, such as schools, medical facilities and public transit. Private businesses who wish to continue enforcing its vaccine and mask mandates are still able to do so.
The mayor's announcement follows similar orders issued in other major Democratic cities across the U.S., including Chicago, Minneapolis, and Denver. Over the past two weeks, these cities have introduced these measures as daily reported COVID cases have dropped by 67 percent.

Ain’t Communism great???
Showing a maitre d’ your medical records was ALWAYS a stupid idea!
Font of largesse and kindness.
Not a great plan to have mandates like this when you can drive a few miles and be in VA where there are no mandates. Lots of lost business in DC and the Mayor probably got an earful from business owners.
Can we all just agree to drop the word “pivot” from our vocabularies? Do it for the children.
And can I please add to that the also very irritating ’on point’. 🤣
Ottawa!
No restrictions.
How about instead of "PIVOT" we say "SWITCH FROM LIE #23 TO LIE #24"? More words, but more accurate.
How about “circle back”
Democraps are reacting to “the science”, political science.
They’ve seen their internal polls and they’re in the toilet.
Very important that people watch this truth bomb.
I still say stop all trucking resupply into that City AND the outlying areas whose residents are the DC employees who infest our government. They need to be taught a hard lesson.
It says nothing about lifting vax requirement for restaurants, movie theaters, concerts, sporting events.
I don't care which city you live in, everything you use sooner or later travels by truck. Everything!
Yep....and it’s no more than 2-3 weeks of supply they have on hand, if that. When DC and surroundings’ shelves go bare and restaurants have to close because of no product, they’ll be reminded of the same kind of freedom-blockade/denial they’ve put on the rest of the country.
Now someone needs to file another lawsuit for healthcare workers. Find out what the arguments were for leaving it in place and make a better case for doing away with it.
Paging Sara Cody. Please pick up the white courtesy phone.
Metrics to lift mandate in Santa Clara County, California.
https://www.kron4.com/news/bay-area/santa-clara-county-not-lifting-mask-mandate/amp/
Dr. Cody says Santa Clara County is doing well with vaccines, with 85% of the population fully vaccinated but hospitalizations and daily cases are still too high — Around 1,900 cases per day over a seven-day average.
Dr. Cody says that number needs to be at 550 for masks to come off indoors.
and the DC Convention Center
March for Life & Defeat the Mandates are over. Bowser put her crap in place just prior to those events to inconvenience them. The fact that people can easily go “next door” to VA for restaurants, etc. was always a fly in her mandate(s) ointment. The political science has changed so she’s doing the same.
