DC Quarantine List Now Up To 42 States November 2, 2020

On Monday, DC Health published its up-to-date list of states requiring a quarantine for individuals (1) visiting from the states or (2) District residents who had traveled to the states. With national numbers spiking and the U.S. setting records for daily infections, it is no surprise that three states were added to the quarantine list and none were removed:

• California
• New Jersey
• Oregon

This means anyone visiting or visiting from those states must quarantine for 2 weeks when coming into the District. Now 42 of eligible 48 states are on the list. Maryland and Virginia are exempt from the quarantine list.

DC Health defines “high-risk areas” as 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.

An updated list will be published Monday, November 16.

Currently, the following are states that DO NOT require a visitor to quarantine for 14 days:

Hawaii
New Hampshire
New York
Maine
Maryland
Vermont
Virginia
Washington
