City Officials Answer Questions About D.C. Reopening in Call With Council


DC Health’s
Patrick Ashley told the Council the agency is looking to make an announcement regarding the expansion of these vaccine sites, including more locations and eligibility, in the “coming weeks.” The agency is evaluating demand at these sites, along with citywide supply, to inform decisions. “We have seen some seniors take advantage of that, but not an overwhelming amount,” Ashley added. (Note, walk-ins are now welcomed at the vaccine site at Greenbelt Metro station. D.C. residents can get vaccinated at the Maryland site.)
What metrics is the Bowser administration using to reopen?
City Administrator
Kevin Donahue said that the Bowser administration uses data and science to inform reopening. However, the administration wouldn’t use a “formulaic” approach when deciding whether to further lift coronavirus restrictions. For example, he wouldn’t say DC Health has to see X metric met for X activity to happen. “There is some amount of art to this and understanding what the public is doing in reaction to our guidance,” added Ashley. “And so when we look at things like mask wearing and social distancing and individuals that are out in the community and how they’re behaving—all of those factors go into how we decide.”
