[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids' school requires us to attest that we are in compliance with the DC travel policy, meaning we can't travel outside of the DMV unless we quarantine for 3-5 days and take a test before returning to school.  We'd like to visit family over memorial day in NJ.  Rates are down, vaccinations are up and there has been no change to the policy to reflect that.  Any sense of when they will change to a different policy?[/quote]

It’s a lot easier to just tell people what they want to hear than it is to comply with these ridiculous, erroneous policies these morons come up with.

They want to hear you say “no, I haven’t been anywhere”.

So that’s exactly what you should tell them. [/quote]

Its amazing the ease with which supposed adults tell the world they're liars.[/quote]

Up to now, we have followed all the travel guidance quite carefully, keeping our kid home from school for two days after a day trip to another state where we only saw people outside and masked and didn't even spend the night. But I have to say that the new policy, which is significantly more restrictive than the old one at a time when more than 40 percent of the entire city's population has been fully vaccinated, makes it very, very difficult to justify complying, especially in light of the fact that visitors TO D.C. from other states only have to quarantine and test if they develop symptoms while they're here.

If the policy is intended to be a nudge toward vaccination, great; we'd happily vaccinate our kids if we could, but they're under 12.

The city ought to either clarify the rules, if they don't actually intend for them to read the way they do, or explain why it's now rolled out a much more cautious policy -- without exceptions for travel to jurisdictions where case rates are low, exceptions that had been in place all along, until Monday -- at this point in the evolution of the pandemic.[/quote]
