Current DC returning travel restrictions for unvaccinated

[Anonymous]

Can anyone link to the updated DC travel policies? Is it based on a certain level of risk for destination? There are discussions are school forum but I can’t figure out what is guessing what is the real, updated policy.

This really impacts families with kids under 12.

It doesn’t impact you if you’re a democrat state legislator from Texas. You can run all over town meeting with people while infected.

Please don’t derail this thread with political nonsense.

This is the OP.

Who cares? Just ignore them and go about your life.

The DC travel guidance doesn't appear to have been updated since May 20, 2021:

From this page: https://coronavirus.dc.gov/healthguidance you can link to https://coronavirus.dc.gov/sites/default/files/dc/sites/coronavirus/page_content/attachments/Travel_Guidance_DCHealth_COVID-19_2021-5-17-2021.pdf

HOWEVER, amusingly, the OSSE guidelines pertaining to schools are different:

https://osse.dc.gov/sites/default/files/dc/sites/osse/page_content/attachments/FINAL_OSSE_Health_and_Safety%20Guidance_for_Schools-COVID-19_Recovery_Period.pdf?fbclid=IwAR1R8RPPJXN9MPWEIG1qO8rCcjbf4DbXcpgNgk16wDZYrcd77FE1GiYUKgs

School guidelines were updated June 25th, so are more up-to-date. However, they link to the May 20th guidelines.

The difference is for the unvaccinated and domestic travel:
In the May 20 document, the unvaccinated have to quarantine for 7 days after returning home from domestic travel outside of MD/DC/VA, regardless of a negative test 3-5 days after return. If they don't test, it is 10 days.

In the OSSE document, there is no direct mention of that 7-day quarantine, and only mentions testing after 3-5 days. If one doesn't test it is 10 days quarantine.
