          Mayor Bowser Declares Public Health Emergency

          Wednesday, March 11, 2020

          (Washington, DC) – Today, Mayor Muriel Bowser declared both a state of emergency and a public health emergency, effective immediately. The DC Homeland Security and Emergency Management Agency (HSEMA) will activate the District’s Emergency Operations Center (EOC) and Joint Information Center (JIC) to provide additional coordination for the District’s COVID-19 response.

          Earlier today, DC Health recommended that non-essential mass gatherings, including conferences and conventions, be postponed or cancelled through March 31. As a result, the District is pulling permits for two events in March – the Rock and Roll DC Marathon and Half Marathon and 5K and the Scope It Out 5K.

          Additionally, DC Public Schools announced that they have moved their teacher Professional Development day from Friday, March 20 to Monday, March 16 to prepare for the possibility of distance learning.

            Posted March 11, 2020 at 10:24pm

            Washington Sen. Maria Cantwell's office said Wednesday a D.C.-based staffer has tested positive for COVID-19. It's the first known case on Capitol Hill.

            "The individual has been in isolation since starting to have symptoms," according to a release from the office. "On the advice of the Attending Physician, the senator has closed her Washington, D.C. office this week for deep cleaning and staff will be teleworking."...

              DC: 10 Cases Confirmed

              Ten people have tested positive for the virus in D.C.

              A rector in his 50s at Christ Church Georgetown was the first person to test positive. He had "no history of international travel and no close contacts with a confirmed case," Bowser said.

              A 39-year-old organist at the same church, Christ Church Georgetown, later tested positive as well.

              Anyone who attended the church on six dates in February and March was told to self-quarantine for 14 days because of possible exposure to the virus.

              Another of the D.C. patients is a man from Nigeria. According to the mayor's office, the man, who is in his 50s, traveled to D.C. and then went to Maryland, where he went to a hospital with symptoms.

              The other patients are a 77-year-old man who attended a conference held in Boston last month by the biotechnology company Biogen, a 59-year-old man with a history of travel to a Level 3 country, a 58-year-old woman who attended a conference in the District where other positive cases were identified, a 39-year-old man with a history of travel to a Level 3 country, a 24-year-old man with no known exposure, a 59-year-old woman who had contact with a previously identified case in the District, and a 69-year-old woman with no known exposure the mayor's office said.

              Dozens of cases have been linked to the Biogen conference, NBC Boston reported.https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/l...a-dmv/2230095/

                Coronavirus USA Update: COVID-19 Enters Senate, Staff Tests Positive

                "On Wednesday, it was learned a staffer working for Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-WA, at her Washington D.C. office tested positive for "severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)," the disease that causes COVID-19.

                Cantwell’s office said this woman staffer had no known contact with the senator or other lawmakers. Confirmation of the infection, however, led Sen. Cantwell to close her D.C. office for the remainder of the week."
                Fears of a COVID-19 rampage in the U.S. Congress is growing after seven lawmakers enter self-quarantine and a Senate staffer tests positive for COVID-19.

                              By Kylie Atwood

                              Updated 8:18 PM ET, Thu March 19, 2020
                              )The US State Department has its first positive Covid-19 case in Washington, according to an email sent to employees on Thursday and reviewed by CNN.

                              The individual worked in one of the annex buildings in Washington, not the main State Department building in the Foggy Bottom neighborhood.
                              Under Secretary for Management Brian Bulatao said in the email that there is someone in Washington who tested positive for coronavirus.

                              "Today, we learned of our first case of someone who works in a domestic annex in Washington, DC," the email read.Bulatao's email said State will temporarily close that area of the building while it is disinfected and made safe for occupancy. He also wrote that since the outbreak began, a "small number" of State employees abroad have tested positive or have had visitors to their building who were later found to have Covid-19, but said that this was the first case in the nation's capital....https://us.cnn.com/2020/03/19/politi...ase/index.html
