Operative words
All residents and persons traveling to or from "high-risk areas" within the prior fourteen (14) days for non-essential travel must self-quarantine for fourteen (14) days following their return or arrival to the District.... "high-risk areas" are 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. These locations will be identified by the Department of Health beginning on July 27, 2020 and will be posted and updated every two (2) weeks on coronavirus.dc.gov. Maryland and Virginia are exempt.
Enforcement
Businesses and other employers, universities, apartments, condominiums, and cooperatives may require employees, students, clients, customers, guests, visitors, or other persons to affirm compliance with this Order before allowing entry or providing services; Communicable and Preventable Diseases Act penalties reserved (sec. VI)
Notes
Essential travel defined by reference to MO 2020-054 plus any trip of less than twenty-four hours; the high-risk list at times covered more than thirty States
Retrieval noteThe District published this order as a web page rather than a PDF; the exhibit reproduces the full order text from the Wayback Machine capture of Aug. 16, 2020 (rendered with Word after headless Edge failed). Mayor's Order 2020-103 sec. I.4 recites that this order 'instituted requirements in Phase Two... to self-quarantine after non-essential travel' and that they 'remain in effect'.
