This graphic from the DC Events Coalition has been circulating on social media as local event professionals call for updated guidance on social events.
DC-area wedding and event planners and other vendors are taking to social media and in some cases using the hashtag #SaveEvents to ask DC Mayor Muriel Bowser and Virginia and Maryland governors Ralph Northam and Larry Hogan to address what they see as a lack of updated guidance for local events. While indoor dining has reopened with limitations across the region—capped at 50 percent of capacity in Maryland and Virginia and 25 percent in DC—the caps on indoor and outdoor gatherings have not been updated since they were slashed at the end of last year. Currently, DC and Maryland gatherings are limited to 10 people indoors and 25 outdoors; Virginia’s restrictions cap all gatherings at 10. No updates or additional guidance on gatherings have been issued in 2021.
