DC health officials say masks may be necessary until Thanksgiving
NY Post
Washington, D.C. health officials say the indoor mask mandate, now in its second week, may be in place until Thanksgiving given the rising number of cases and stagnated vaccination rates.
Patrick Ashley, a senior deputy director of the D.C. health department, told WRC-TV that the mask mandate will likely be in effect for the weeks to come. “We’re very hopeful that we’ll get back to normal around the holidays,” Ashley said, adding: “We’re hopeful that by Thanksgiving we’ll be in a different spot, but that relies on people getting vaccinated.”More Related News
