These were the last remaining restrictions in the District, but expect some safety protocols to remain in place.
Businesses, houses of worship and other organizations that serve people vulnerable to COVID-19 are free to enforce stronger safety protocols.

The changes come as DC Health Director Dr. LaQuandra Nesbitt says the District is on track to have 70% of residents vaccinated against COVID-19 by July 4.
