It has been much of the same for quite some time, but with some major updates, it’s important to note them! Mask mandates have been lifted as of the start of March 2022, and with the latest knowledge available to us, and the current vaccination rate of single-dose well over 90%, this is likely the beginning of a true end to this pandemic.
It surely has been a rough time, to say the least, and people’s unwillingness to stay properly educated, and be able to make the best decisions (when presented with that option, with places like USA, etc.) that would benefit society as a whole, have surely set the whole world back, and the virus is still very real in many underprivileged and poorer countries. While a new variant is likely (since most people learned about virus mutations in school), for now, it’s something we don’t have to worry about in this region.
Vaccination requirements have also been lifted, but that’s mainly again due to the fact that nearly everyone in DC is vaccinated, and we would expect travelers coming here to be vaccinated against all highly contagious viruses, as it’s been a norm worldwide for many decades.
We hope this relative reprieve continues, and the whole world slowly climbs out of this mess, with *fingers crossed* constant vaccine improvements, and faster deployment to the rest of the planet, so that the magical number of immunizations can be reached around the world, where new variants no longer pop up like wildflowers!
We hope you’re able to enjoy your stay with us, and experience all of that DC has to offer, as it is fully re-open for business, with all of its museums, and outside attractions to offer!
