fyi ----- Forwarded Message ----- From: Holtzman, Steve (SMD 6B05) <6b05@...> To: Holtzman, Steve (SMD 6B05) <6b05@...> Sent: Thursday, October 8, 2020, 12:48:42 PM EDT Subject: Mayors Order Extending Public Health Emergency until Dec. 31 and other related points
Neighbors,
? ?The existing Mayoral Order on the Public Health Emergency expires tomorrow, Oct 9.
Yesterday afternoon, Mayor Bowser issued a new Mayoral Order extending the Emergency until December 31 2020. I've attached a copy of the order.?
Also available? at:? ?
?In addition to extending the present order, the new order? loosens restrictions on high contact sports and on issuing field permits for Dept of Parks and Recreations facilities and allows for conditional opening of indoor public swimming pools.
?
?It also gives authorization for DC agencies to require individuals entering government facilities/buildings to provide their name and contact information for the sole purpose of contact tracing and notes that these records will be destroyed after 30 days.
?On a related note, DC and 9 other local jurisdictions have??jointly
signed a letter asking individuals "connected to Recent White House Events" to contact their local health department to assess possible need to quarantine.?
Also, fyi .. A recent NBC report (I don't have the citation) noted that about 140 people in the Capitol building complex have tested positive since March. While the numbers aren't huge, to put this in some perspective, as of this morning the residential neighborhood
of Capitol Hill in total has 111 reported positive tests during the same time period. File this under the general heading of a plea for continued mask wearing and caution with specific reference to the observation that we don't live on an isolated island.?

ps.??A reminder that this extension of the Public Health Emergency automatically extends all of your expired/expiring DMV documents (licenses, tags, inspections) until 45 days after the emergency, i.e., at a minimum, until the middle of February 2021.
